Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread (Part 1)

MS didn’t just cough up 70bn to let any of these games go to PlayStation.

Just like with Zenimax, once the deal is closed it’s done

Unlikely but Xbox probably make some timed exclusive DLCs like Sony did with COD and Destiny.

I can imagine SP games being exclusive but Warzone continuing on all platforms.

Exactly my feeling. I’m way more of a Bethesda gamer than an Activision gamer, but my reaction to this announcement leans way more towards shock than when the ZeniMax announcement happened. Then I was more “cool, glad to hear it” and now I’m more like “whaaaaat?!” :exploding_head:

I’m old enough to remember the flapping on here when Sony announced they’d bought some fart of a studio at TGA.

Meanwhile, Phil was off buying one of the biggest publishers in gaming.

I personally think no because they will use it as leverage to have GP on PS4/5

Just wait for the deal to close. We went through this before.

My mind is actually blown, I was expecting EA or Ubisoft size but never this big.

MS could literally get anyone now!

I see this happening for Call of Duty and King games, as for Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and other smaller franchises, those will be xbox exclusive more likely.

also most of Blizzard is PC exclusive, a Microsoft platform.
