What studio acquisitions do you predict we could see this year and why?

I know. I don't count Zynga as having talent though.

They're doing it so Zynga will make Take Two interactive licensed mobile games. Probably GTA, Bioshock, Borderlands, etc.

2022 is fucking weird

Microsoft agrees to acquire Activision/Blizzard
Cartagia:
Nearly $70 billion. Microsoft would still be smaller than Tencent and Sony, by revenue, but still... Damn.
Also, this likely spells the end of the road for Kotick, as he was mostly still around because his contingent owns the majority of shares and will get a fat bonus of the sale, no doubt. He's gonna have people above him for the first time in a couple of decades.
weirdfeline:
Man, this is disappointing as a non-Xbox owner.. I love Call of Duty, Overwatch, Spyro, Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero. I guess I may have to consider picking up an Xbox in the future if all these are gonna end up as exclusives..
The good thing is that I feel like Xbox may be interested in not having their studios only make Call of Duty and now with this acquisition it seems that may have actually been what they were doing.
Just make Spyro 4 already come on.
telekill:
I'm not a fan of Activision or Blizzard games so this doesn't affect me personally... though I did just get my wife Spyro on Switch. It does affect a majority of gamers though given CoD was probably the biggest reason they were bought.
In other news... glad to not be part of toxic fanboy forums anymore. They are surely blowing up at the moment.
