CTOnews.com September 16 news, since the beginning of 2022, Microsoft, Sony and other large companies have made at least one industry acquisition or merger, of which Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion in January this year. This is the most expensive acquisition ever made by Microsoft. Therefore, some netizens think that Yubi and EA can also consider mergers and acquisitions.

EA executive Vince Zampella admitted in an interview with Barron Weekly that mergers and acquisitions are a "major trend" and that big acquisitions can help some studios complete projects they could not carry out, but there is also a negative side-creativity is stifled.

"it's good. It could also be negative. I think we need to be aware that we are not suppressing creativity." He said, "but what have we left behind? we have to be careful, we are always innovating and looking for the next thing-not just focusing on what is in front of us."

Christopher Hartman, the boss of Amazon Games, also believes that every business, including games, will eventually become a monopoly.

Zampella founded Respawn Entertainment after being fired by Infinity Ward. As a result, he has first-hand experience of acquisitions. after all, Respawn was acquired by EA after the release of the Titan fall.

The executive, who is now in charge of EA's Battlefield team, has some ideas about Battlefield 2042. He says DICE is a little too far from the nature of the battlefield. The studio has some ideas, such as increasing the number of players to 128 in a game, "maybe ambitious" and "the way they plan and execute doesn't allow them to find their best at all."

CTOnews.com has learned that the biggest acquisitions in games so far in 2022 include Take-Two 's $12.7 billion acquisition of Zynga, Sony's $3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie, and Microsoft's attempt to buy Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion.
