Microsoft says it plans to buy major games company Activision Blizzard in a deal worth $68.7bn (£50.57bn).

It would be the biggest acquisition in the company's history and is expected to be finalised in 2023.

The move means Microsoft will take ownership of gaming franchises like Call of Duty, Warcraft and Overwatch.

Microsoft claims it will help them grow their gaming business across mobile, PC and consoles along with providing building blocks for the metaverse.

This deal is the biggest in gaming history and comes a year after Microsoft bought another influential gaming company Bethesda for $7.5bn.

I'm looking forward to this video game, as I genuinely hope it inspires more empathy for our feral feline friends. It's important to take care of those little creatures. Cats have done so much for the human species, and they deserve to be looked after and honored, IMO.

Quite literally all of them, even novelty consoles.

In my opinion, SNES should've been either #2 or possibly even #1. It is a strong debate as to whether the "greatest video game console of all time" is either the PS2 or SNES.
