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.

Damn, this must be why I'm not a billionaire. I keep forgetting to do this.
