what are the most notable acquisitions of all time
Literally ALL of Facebook would b harder to believe Zuck didnt steal the FB idea from the winklevoss twins if they didnt acquire instagram, oculus and WhatsApp. Then try n buy Snapchat but when they say no just steal the tech instead. Only valuable stuff they have they bought
yeah and it all siphons into their XBOX game pass inventory creating a huge library of solid quality games
android wouldve probably ended as some niche hacker culture OS for phones maybe. Instagram is a different story to me but yeah perhaps.
Microsoft x Blizzard was pretty huge
google understood they needed to dominate the software stack ig. I still think while its sad otoh its very smart of companies to acquire great teams and give them the freedom to work. Would android have worked without google? is always an interesting thought experiment
next by apple android by google (actually every notable google product and team today was an acquisition) pixar and marvel by disney whatsapp and Instagram by facebook
Your mothers acquisition of DN
instagram gotta be up there
pretty good one i know one that didnt happen, yahoo and google,
