About this episode
Expected to close in 2023, Microsoft has struck a deal to acquire video game studio Activision Blizzard for a whopping $68 billion. This week, we welcome Jason Hilchie from the Software Association of Canada to discuss why this acquisition is significant and what consolidation in the gaming industry means for companies in that space. We also discuss what this all means for gamers from both the hardware and content perspective.
Later in the show, we discuss the latest electric vehicle news.
