Microsoft was most likely ready for rigorous anti-trust scrutiny around the world when it decided to purchase Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. The deal is the tech giant''s biggest yet, and it''s also set to become the largest all-cash acquisition ever. In the US, the proposed acquisition will be reviewed the Federal Trade Commission instead of the Justice Department, according to Bloomberg . The two agencies are in charge of investigating mergers in the country and typically decide between themselves which one will take charge of a case. FTC''s investigation will reportedly take a close look at how Microsoft''s ownership of Activision could harm rivals by limiting access to the developer''s biggest games. Activision owns hugely popular IPs, including Call of Duty , World of Warcraft and Candy Crush . It''s unclear if Microsoft has plans to release titles exclusive to Xbox and Window PCs in the future, but it''s worth noting Sony is still ahead of Microsoft in terms of gaming hardware sales and that a large chunk of Activision''s revenue comes from PlayStation gamers.

Consequences, Consequences, Who Would Have Guessed… Authored by Bill Blain via MorningPorridge.com, “The downright bleeding obvious is often a surprise!” Markets are great at reacting to a single stimulus but are like a frog in a pan of warming water when it comes to consequential events. Forget “Black Swans” or “no-see-ums”, but figure out how the increasingly complex picture of unfolding events and consequences are driving markets! This morning I am struggling to find a single topic for my usual Friday rant. There are literally so many separate threads driving markets, from recession/recovery indicators, company earnings reports, domestic politics, geopolitics, and rising dissent, that it’s difficult to focus on any one point and paint it as the dominant factor. But, one month in, I’ve formed a pretty unshakable view on the year ahead: 2022 is going to be very different. That does not necessarily mean very bad. Different and Bad are not mutually reinforcing unless you let them be… Whatever happens in coming months, this will be a year of tremendous opportunity… but also danger.
