Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has completed the purchase of Zynga for a record-breaking $12.7 billion. This deal is now the largest ever merger in the history of the Games Industry – a record that is set to be beaten again if Microsoft’s $68 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard goes ahead.
“We are thrilled to complete our combination with Zynga, which is a pivotal step to increase exponentially our Net Bookings from mobile, the fastest-growing segment in interactive entertainment, while also providing us with substantial cost synergies and revenue opportunities,” said Strauss Zelnick, chairman, and CEO of Take-Two.
Personally, I’m looking forward to a Grand Theft Farmville crossover…
