Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says Microsoft acquiring Activision would be 'a good thing for the industry'.
, Zelnick was asked what he thought of the proposed deal.
“It’s a highly fragmented business and there’s plenty of room for creativity to go around, and Microsoft is an ally of ours, and if this makes their business more powerful we think that’s good for us.”Zelnick was then asked if he was concerned that Activision Blizzard games would become Microsoft’s core focus should it acquire the publisher.
“At the end of the day if [Microsoft is] focused on the power and strength of their own business they’re going to want to be pushing the most successful properties, and if consumers are showing up for our properties and Microsoft isn’t engaged, isn’t involved, isn’t a partner, than that would be a bad thing for Microsoft.
