Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has commented further on its proposed deal to buy Activision Blizzard, saying the company sought to purchase the giant to help flesh out its mobile business.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Spencer said the “biggest gaming platform on the planet is mobile phones,” adding that 1.5 billion people play games on mobile devices.
The executive went on to say that Microsoft, “regretfully,” doesn’t have much of a presence on mobile in terms of gaming.
