As the news was extensively covered by the North Federation media, it spread back to the home country at a rapid pace, even though it was nighttime. Although it was nearly dawn in the homeland, this news caused a massive stir on the internet! No need to mention Blizzard! The unrelenting years of

Monster World can be really ‘heartbreaking’ for countless gamers in Flame Nation.

Particularly during the Nine Cities Agency period, several versions of the game had already been updated abroad, but the homeland was still playing the old version. Many players were utterly disheartened until WY took over. Only then did the game synchronize with the rest of the world. But by this time, Monster World had already drifted into the sunset, losing its former glory.

However, the decline in fame does not mean Blizzard is no more a prominent company. On the contrary, Blizzard is still considered a holy grail among countless players! There’s a saying – Blizzard products are of top-notch quality! Perhaps Blizzard’s market value isn’t too high; when it was acquired by Vivendi Group, it was merely over ten billion Fedral coins.

Perhaps compared to the then North Federation’s Activision, North Federation’s Artis Electronics, and SY, these gaming giants have a countless multiple of Blizzard’s market value. But are their names prevalent? Not really, maybe their games are, such as the ‘Sims’, ‘Mass Effect’, ‘Medal of Honor’ from Artis Electronics, and ‘Call of Duty’ from Activision, and so on.

These games are highly renowned among players, but has anyone remembered their development companies? None! Only games developed by Blizzard have been remembered by many players. Even the now world-renowned Game League, hasn’t it expanded from a map in Blizzard’s Monster Rumble?

So, when this news was learned by domestic players, these players’ excitement can be imagined. After repeatedly making sure it wasn’t incorrect, many players exploded in WY’s official forum.

“Once upon a time, we had to wait to play Blizzard’s games. Like Diablo 3, I haven’t even waited for the opening of the national service yet! Now, all I can say is, Prodigal Bro, you’re awesome, you did something that all players wanted to do but couldn’t.”

“I have already kneeled down in respect, Prodigal brother has just finished buying the plane and now he is buying the company. This is a solid move toward prodigally destroying wealth. But what I want to know is why the premium of Prodigal Bro’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is so high, and now the acquired shares are only 7%? And it seems the news is out now, and it seems unfavorable for the acquisition?”

“66666666666, when T Company once got a 6% share of Blizzard, countless people began to praise that T Company acquired Blizzard. Isn’t this what real acquisition is like now? T Company merely acquired a 6% share after conversion, and moreover, it wasn’t considered a direct shareholding but indirect. But… it seems that Mr. Damian Bryan is openly disclosing it, apparently not wanting Prodigal brother to complete the acquisition?

Truth be told, there are insightful individuals among these ordinary players and netizens who understand that Damian Bryan’s announcement of this news is to sabotage Finn Lewis’ acquisition. More so, once the media finds out, such acquisition behavior can hardly be concealed any longer. Even the agreement between Finn Lewis and Kodiak Kennedy has been exposed.

Well, let’s not mention that the 23% of shares in Kodiak Kennedy’s hands are not yet secured, even if they are secured! Finn Lewis only has 30% of the shares at hand, 21% away from absolute controlling shares. But now, the shares that can be acquired are scarce.

Sitting on his private jet, Finn Lewis had a gloomy face. Finn Lewis felt that what was originally a sure bet was still upset by Damian Bryan’s move, that is, on Mih’s side. Mr. M had already called Finn Lewis, who was flying back home on his private jet, to meet with the people of Mih Investment Group.

Because Finn Lewis also owns 2% of T Company’s shares and can attend the board meeting. Even though Finn Lewis didn’t go, he was informed about the board meeting’s situation. Mr. M suggested transferring the 6% shares in Activision Blizzard held by him to Finn Lewis, which was strongly opposed by MIH Investment Group.

The reason for the opposition was simple; it was not in line with T Company’s strategy. This applies even though Finn Lewis is their partner. Due to strong opposition, Mr. M had to call Finn Lewis to have him personally talk with MIH Investment Group.

Frankly, this is still a price issue. But this 6% share is held by T Company Group. In other words, MIH only owns 33% of this 6% share, less than 2%. But because it is impossible to exceed 51% of the influence of Activision Blizzard board shares, Finn Lewis is also unable to acquire this 6% share for now. And these 6% of shares are critical.

“…After the current analysis, I’m afraid this acquisition will eventually come to an end. Perhaps Mr. Finn Lewis has a huge amount of funds, but apparently, he can’t buy the shares he could. According to what Mr. Damian Bryan revealed, almost all the floating shares have been absorbed, and the shares in the hands of investors are about 8% to 9%. But these investors will definitely not sell these shares now, the torrents of rising share prices can tell you that.”

“Moreover, the ones controlling these stocks are not common investors. The remaining shares, 47% of the shares in the hands of Mr. Kodiak Kennedy and Mr. Damian Bryan, total to 56% of the shares, Mr. Finn Lewis has only purchased 7% of the shares, which amounts to 63% of the shares. And the parent company of Activision Blizzard, Vivendi Group holds 10%. A journalist interviewed the president of the Vivendi Group some days ago.” 𝘧𝑟𝓮𝓮𝓌𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝑚

“The CEO of the Vivendi Group said that these shares are definitely not for sale because it will affect the future strategic steps of the Vivendi Group. Even if the price is above 50%, it is unlikely. This accounts for 73% of all shares in

Activision Blizzard. In addition, there is 1% in the hands of other shareholders in the Kodiak private investment company, and the possibility of selling this 1% is not great.”

“Lastly, the most opportunistic chance for Mr. Finn Lewis is the T Company, also a Flame Nation company, which holds a large number of shares in the Kodiak Private Investment Company. T Company has 6% of the Activision Blizzard shares. Counting this 6% of Activision Blizzard shares, a total of 80% of Activision Blizzard board shares have already been claimed.”

“So where did the remaining 20% go? According to our reporters, these 20% of shares are also in the hands of one person, or rather in a foundation. This is a traditional and mysterious hedge fund. According to the news we got from a large banking consortium, this traditional hedge fund has a long-term strategic vision. The fund scores every shot it takes, and it has almost never tasted failure! In other words, even if Mr. Finn Lewis gets the 6% stake in T Company, it would be just 13% of the stake..”
