Activision CEO Whines about EA-T2 Merger: "Their Merger is gonna be bigger than my Merger!"




"Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has expressed concerns about the possible acquisition of Take-Two Games by Electronic Arts, a deal that would create the largest single publisher in the videogame industry.
The $18 billion merger between Activision and Vivendi that resulted in the creation of Activision Blizzard currently holds the record as the largest deal the industry has ever seen, but Kotick appeared concerned specifically about the potential monopoly of the sports game genre by the merged company. "That's concerning, sure," he said in an interview with Reuters. "When you think about one company in control of the sports category, with no competition from anybody else, that could be a challenge."
