    The price is nice but I don’t get why they don’t round it. Same with activision acquisition.

      Well the difference between 69 billion and 70 billion is 1 billion.

        Tom Scott’s video on 1 million dollars vs 1 billion dollars highlights how crazy 1 billion dollars really is for those that need easy to understand comparisons like me.
