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.  Rohit Chopra - 11:38Bobby Kotick - 22:19 In this episode:Kelly Cobiella, @KellyCobiellaEmily Wilkins, @emrwilkinsAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickCameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY

Final Fantasy XVI is out! And I have some early spoiler-free impressions. I talk about the gameplay, story, and a surprising take on the diversity issue surrounding the game. E3 has been cancelled in 2024 and 2025...At least in Los Angeles. Doesn't mean it won't happen elsewhere, but let's be honest, it's not very likely. The FTC has sued to block the Microsoft-Activision merger, and the trial has started. In emails released to the court, Sony said that they'd be okay and that they knew from the beginning it wasn't about exclusivity. Sony testified that they would withhold PS6 devkits from Activision if there is a merger, meaning that Activision games would not be able to use PS6 specific features. (They already do not provide PS5 devkits to Mojang, which is why there is not a Minecraft version natively on PS5.) Then we talk to Rob about Final Fantasy XVI and how the music in it is at least one of the final music packs for Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line.

U.K regulators block Microsoft (MSFT) acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI). Caroline Woods discusses this as MSFT is to appeal the U.K. regulators ruling and remains committed to the ATVI deal.

We start off talking a lot about the Diablo IV beta and impressions from someone who hasn't played a lot of Diablo recently. The biggest hurdle has been cleared in the Microsoft-Activision merger, with the UK saying that it is not in Microsoft's best financial interests to make Call of Duty a console exclusive. At Game Developers Conference, the buzzword was how GPT AI will start taking over tasks that entry level game developers currently do, like writing out the "NPC barks" that constitute world building. But there's also interesting new tech like the Unreal Engine "Metahuman" real time facial animation that could be a game changer in democratizing game development. Then we talk to Rob about Diablo IV and if I just need to play it multiplayer to really enjoy it.
