Rumor: Microsoft to buy Netflix for $150 billion

The well-known news publication Reuters reports that after the acquisition of Activision Blizzard , Microsoft plans to buy another giant in the field of media, namely Netflix . We previously wrote that Epic Games will pay $520,000,000 to settle a FTC complaint .

The amount of the potential deal could be an astronomical $190,000,000,000. And there are certain prerequisites for this. Netflix is having a hard time right now, despite the success of some shows like Season 4 of Stranger Things. The service released an inexpensive subscription with advertising, and Microsoft was the main advertising partner of the company.

Also , Netflix is now actively developing its gaming direction as a publisher, games are offered by subscription, as is the case with Xbox Game Pass. In particular, the service offers projects such as Asphalt Xtreme, Into The Breach, and Stranger Things franchise games.

But Microsoft may be facing the same problem it faced with its Activision Blizzard acquisition. Will this purchase raise questions with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and other market regulators, for example, in the EU? After all, with a deal worth two and a half times less, Microsoft already has certain problems.
