At the time of the LinkedIn announcement, Microsoft was valued at about $400 billion, so the purchase amounted to roughly 6.5% of its market cap. When it tried to buy Yahoo, Microsoft's market cap was around $260 billion, meaning it would've been giving up almost 20% of the company.
Today, Microsoft has a valuation of almost $2.3 trillion and is paying just 3% of its market cap for Activision.
