MythrilMagician 6,963 Posted November 3, 2015 Companies seem to do anything to aquire another successful company these days. Facebook acquiring WhatsApp for 16 billion (or 19 billion as some other sources said) was crazy as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Swagblader 280 Posted November 4, 2015 That and they made 575 million in 2012. 5.9 is billion is 12 times that. Activision could use some help in the mobile sector, which is probably why they bought off King. If they have a dominance in the mobile market, they could get more people to play their own games. i.e. Call of Duty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
