SEGA has received all the necessary permits from antitrust regulators to purchase the authors of Angry Birds. This was announced by Rovio in a report for investors.
The fact that SEGA is buying Rovio became known in mid-April. Initially, the media reported that SEGA would pay $ 1 billion for Finnish developers, but the companies refuted this figure and announced that the size of the deal would be €706 million ($775.8 million at that time).
It is assumed that the transaction will be completed before August 7, 2023.
