Apple doesn't have a gaming division. Why would they be interested in acquiring Blizzard?

That’s why i included the paranthesis “(or probably could have) happen(ed)”.

That said, they do have a gaming service: https://www.apple.com/apple-arcade/

Apple Arcade is for casual games that have to work on all of Apple's form factors (minus the watch, thankfully). I've tried it out twice. It is, with very few exceptions, in a completely different category from PC gaming because most people access it through a touchscreen. It's like comparing a PS5 and a Switch, except that Apple Arcade is not nearly as polished as the Switch.

My impression is also that Apple Arcade is already pushing the limits of how much Apple's management wants to touch gaming.

You would be shocked to know Apple was days late to buying Bungie, creator of Halo.

They was a way different time and a different Apple.

Exactly. MS has Xbox and has been buying up a lot of Game studios as well. Blizzard makes sense for them to buy; Apple doesn’t seem to be contending…

To start a gaming division with widely known titles already onboard.
