The Microsoft-Activision Blizzard Deal, Done, with ATVI CEO Bobby Kotick 10/13/23

After 22 months, Microsoft has closed its $69.5B acquisition of Activision Blizzard. So what now? Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick reflects on the long road to regulatory approval, and what’s next for gaming and for Activision-turned-Microsoft employees. After building Activision into the gaming giant it is today, Kotick considers his own next chapter and his legacy as CEO. And the White House is taking on junk fees. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Rohit Chopra is co-leading the effort, and he explains what they are and how the administration is planning on curbing them. Plus, NBC’s Kelly Kobiella is in Jerusalem, reporting on the 1m+ Palestinians attempting to flee Gaza after the Israeli Defense Forces ordered an evacuation. In Washington DC, CNBC’s Emily Wilkins explains the House’s ongoing search for a Speaker, after Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) ended his bid for the position.
