I really hope Activision fades away and the teams are freed up to do whatever they want.
Also, would be awesome if Blizzard becomes independent from any of the former Activision management teams. So that the World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft and Overwatch all get their own dedicated teams with Phil and others overseeing. That would be amazing
Too everyone questioning the price of $70 Billion. Do you understand how much some of AB games make per year?
Candy Crush generates over a billion Call of Duty multiple billions World of Warcraft has in the past generated insane numbers.
Within 5 years Microsoft will easily make back what they spent. Just look at what they did with Minecraft. Took super superstar statues to juggernaut super star statues.
Of course they will be exclusive to gamepass and xbox. You don't drop 70 billion to keep things the way they are. Some of you people are not looking at things long term.
The idea is to promote gamepass, and only gamepass. It will be just like it was with TES 5 and Minecraft. Whatever platforms they were already on will remain the same. But future games will be exclusive.
Between, xbox + gamepass (xbox, pc, mobile) M$ does not need the tiny ponds of Nintendo nor Sony.
WOOOW @ Mass Effect. This was one of those games I was super looking forward too last year but held off for a discount. Then I got gamepass.... and the rest was history
If GTA and Halo were the most influential games of that generation. Imagine both on Xbox at launch, could easily have pushed xbox above 25 million systems.
Im sure they will have sales and stuff on armor sets. Once they get a good amount of armor sets out they could just do weekly sales. That would be a win win for both players and 343
I live in China and never imagined I would get gamepass. But I was looking at how to play Diablo 2 online and decided to pick up a year of gamepass for D2 Online, Halo and Forza. But it ended up turning into the biggest gaming blessing I have ever had. Going forward I am only playing gamepass games and only buying digital games that I need to buy.
BTW, I own a Japanese series S, but all my games as well as account are American (its the way I get passed all the censorship here).
Anyways, great stuff. Too many games to play and not enough time.
When players boycott games, are we not at the same time punishing good people who spent a good chunk of their life developing a game for us to play? Is this not punishing the good with the evil?

Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Confirms Plans To Keep Call Of Duty On PlayStation
@BAMozzy
good points, well see what happens.
But, Microsoft didn't spend 69 Billion to keep CoD the way it has always been. I do see future exclusive CoD on Xbox and GamePass
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Confirms Plans To Keep Call Of Duty On PlayStation
