JAKARTA - Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is the biggest deal ever in the game industry for now.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told Bloomberg recently that the $69 billion deal was under scrutiny from several authorities.

However, Nadella believes that in the end the agreement will soon be approved by the authorities and successful.

"Of course, every acquisition of this magnitude will go through an examination, but we feel very, very confident that we will come out," Nadella said, quoted by GamingBolt.

In addition, Nadella is also confident that she can compete with the biggest gaming industry like Sony, which we know the company has acquired several studios, in recent times. "If it's about competition, let's compete," he added.

Earlier this month, Microsoft Gaming boss Phil Spencer made a statement regarding the future of the Call of Duty franchise after Activision Blizzard's acquisition with Microsoft was completed.

While it's unclear, Spencer guarantees that Call of Duty will definitely be coming to PlayStation in the next few years, or possibly two years.

But unfortunately, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan said that the offer failed to consider its impact on PlayStation gamers.

"Microsoft only offers Call of Duty to stay on the PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends. After nearly 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposals were inadequate at many levels and failed to account for the impact on our gamers," he said, according to VOI records.

Microsoft also said that once Activision Blizzard's deal was finalized, it intends to continue investing in more acquisitions.

Nadella also briefly said that the deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, which is quite large and fairly complex, is expected to be completed by 2023.
