Activision and its internal problems
In recent months there has been a lot of talk about the acquisition of Activision Blizzard on behalf of Microsoft. This specific market move has been accompanied by a series of particular moments, complaints and in-depth investigations that have led to the current situation. A new intervention is once again casting doubt on the situation, suggesting that this maneuver is using the latest industry scandals for a common advantage .
More specifically, the lawyers of a Swedish pension fund have filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, according to reports from bloomberglaw.com. According to their allegation, both companies are exploiting the sex scandals of the second in a takeover process that would be convenient for both parties.

Starting from an extremely delicate situation, therefore, Microsoft would have moved accordingly, exploiting the accusations and scandals to its advantage for the agreement. Remaining in his position would allow Kotick to obtain an exit voucher of 400 million dollars, also according to the document, using an acquisition quite hasty in its general dynamics.
Activision Blizzard has not been slow to respond to these Allegations: “We got 98% approval from the votes cast, and the board of directors went through a thorough process to decide the best move for employees, shareholders and players,” said Joe Christinat , accompanied by statements from Microsoft that: "Our proposed acquisition of Activision has been negotiated legally and fairly." How will this new development end?
