Størrelsen på de her handler vokser og vokser, og naturligvis lurer der en kommende rekordindehaver ude i horisonten i form af Microsofts køb af Activision Blizzard for $68.7 milliarder. Men indtil da, så er det altså Take-Two og Zynga der kommer til at sidde på rekorden lidt endnu, for de har nu færdiggjort deres fusionering vurderet til $12.7 milliarder.
Det er faktisk, igen lige nu, en rekord som spilbranchens største handel til dato, og i den forbindelse har CEO Strauss Zelnick sagt følgende:
"We are thrilled to complete our combination with Zynga, which is a pivotal step to increase exponentially our Net Bookings from mobile, the fastest-growing segment in interactive entertainment, while also providing us with substantial cost synergies and revenue opportunities.
As we bring together our exceptional talent, exciting pipelines of games, and industry-leading technologies and capabilities, we believe that we can take our portfolio to another level of creativity, innovation, and quality.
Each of our teams has a strong history of operational execution, and together, we expect that we will enhance our financial profile through greater scale and profitability, paving the way for us to deliver strong shareholder value."
