Microsoft Game Chief: The process of acquiring Activision Blizzard is full of uncertainty and great pressure

Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Games, reviewed the process of the company's acquisition of Activision Blizzard in an interview recently. He said that that period was a "dark time" for Microsoft.

Spencer said that at the beginning of the transaction, Microsoft must be prepared for various unexpected situations, including the backup plan when the transaction cannot be completed. He said: "We have considered all possible things, which is the basic strategy for running an enterprise. But we firmly believe that we are on the right side. We have never tried to take Call of Duty away from PlayStation players, which has never been our goal."

Despite the obstacles of CMA, FTC and other regulatory agencies, Spencer said that Microsoft showed firm determination in the whole process. He called this one of the "dark days" in the whole process.

However, Spencer also pointed out that the acquisition campaign was time-consuming and full of uncertainty, which brought a huge burden to the team. "As the manager of the company, this is my responsibility. At the beginning, I didn't realize that this would bring such great pressure to the team." He added, "But it's great to work with these excellent teams."
