No offense OP but read literally any article on it and it will be explained in full in a just a few paragraphs.
Bruh you're literally on r/outoftheloop, shut up
I thought this place was for confusing topics that require context to understand, not cut and dry news stories like this. "Why are people freaking out about Microsoft buying Blizzard?" would be a great post for someone without tech/business knowledge.
This, though, is asking for a summary of a recent event. There is no deeper context needed to understand. It's like standing next to a dictionary and saying you're out of the loop on the definition of a word...just take 2 minutes and read it.
While I haven't look into articles of this event. I do know a lot of American news sites slams the door in the face of any European trying to read them. Making it an absolute pain in the ass trying to read some articles, so asking an American to explain it for you, is definitely the easier option.
The top reply is literally a link to the story which, unsurprisingly, cleared the whole thing up for OP.
r/outoftheloop started strong with niche explanations from people in the know before it devolved into every top post being "What happened with [event]?" karma farm garbage. It seems we're starting out that way here...
