of the largest investment banks in the world, Macquarie Bank, recommended that Microsoft finalize the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

According to the bank, although closing the acquisition of Activision blizzard at this very moment will result in a legal fight in the UK, it would be “quite interesting” for Microsoft to finalize the acquisition, mainly for “send a message” to countries that try to block an acquisition of this size, as well as a fine and a likely price increase from the publisher, as a new acquisition agreement would need to be negotiated.

It is worth remembering that starting this week, Microsoft can now finalize the acquisition of Activision Blizzard without undergoing federal prosecution by the US regulatory body, the FTC. However, the same analyst also pointed out that it is “unlikely” that the Redmond giant will expose itself at this level. Check out:
