  • A $3.6 billion dollar purchase is not an impulse buy. It is possibly they decided to announce the acquisition strategically at this time based on the Activision purchase, but this has been in the works for months at least.

  • Agreed. It is difficult to get executive management to approve even 100K for an internal project, let alone a 3.6 billion acquisition. This was a planned purchase, not an overnight response.

  • You cant just buy a company in 1 month, this deal has been in the works for a long time before the Activison acquisition was even announced

  • You do know sarcasm is impossible to notice unless its almost stated. A simple statement cant be noticed as sarcasm :/

    Not if you’re doing it right Edit: in case the notion of a dude writing a $3,600,000,000 check and stopping by the bank drop box and waiting 7-10 business days to clear so the title to Bungie can be signed over to Sony to have it notarized wasn’t obviously ridiculous enuf, that was a sarcastic joke We good now?

  • Technically you can buy a company in month if all parties are in agreement, and paperwork is processed fast enough. Microsoft started their bid for Activision only in December as per news and they bought it in 18 January 2022. It is harder to buy a company that is not desperate (unlike Activison) for acquision for one reason or another.

  • [quote]00f, I dunno how to tell you this but the ABK acquisition is still in the works and won’t be finalized til 2023 at the earliest[/quote] There is a difference something being done deal so there is announcement since its confirmed, and still being in the works (meaning there is no agreement, the seller isn't convinced yet)

  • Do you really believe Business acquisitions function the same as eBay? You know there is govt oversight, right? The amount and agreement between the 2 companies is just the beginning. Which is why it’s going to take til 2023 before they can realistically do anything as it pertains to ownership

  • Again, you are talking about finalizing the deal. I am talking about the deal that is made between the 2 parties that is solid enough to announce. And you had no problem with that response in your previous reply since you said OK what are you disputing. How did you suddently changed it was not OK anymore? It seems to be that you are just trolling for the sake of it.
