HBO's The Last of Us has been turning heads all over the internet, but you may not have expected the hit video game adaptation to get dragged into the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger situation.

On Twitter, Activision Blizzard CCO Lulu Cheng Meservey called attention to the show's success, writing, "It’s a true blockbuster, watched by tens of millions... You may be particularly interested in the fact that The Last of Us is produced by Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions."

Meservey went on to argue that The Last of Us' success and subsequent renewed interest in the video game means there's no cause for concern that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard would suppress competition.

Microsoft has previously called PlayStation too big to fail while saying Xbox has a “number of significant disadvantages” compared to its rival platforms.
