Microsoft Buying Activision Blizzard.

In guessing, I'm thinking that Infinity Ward and another stays on COD. Similar to Turn 10 and Playground with Forza. They will staff up the development teams so that they can make the games alone. The support studios will be able to then move to other properties.

You think they needed to spend 80 billion dollars to get CoD on gamepass?

Shambles

No. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Sony had "keep that shyt off GP/competing service" clauses in their petty 3rd party contracts. I'm indifferent about CoD so I don't know why you keep bringing it up. It's a nice diversion at times but as you saw in that PS thread I'm not heavy into online shooters. If anything I hope MS lets some of these "support" studios do other things. Like, why the hell is a studio called Toys For Bob working on CoD ? You're missing the forest for the trees.

The ink isn't even dry and he's already alluding to pumping out more sequels.

If they bring back Guitar Hero

Same thoughts

Sony doesn't normally respond. I'm surprised that they did.

Call of Duty even on an off year is still the best selling PlayStation game bar none.

When MS announced this is must have been meltdown central over at Sony.

Sony makes a lot of money with CoD. But they've blinked with this let's call it what it is a plea.

And MS knows they're in the driving seat.

Xbox fans are celebrating this as a big win when in reality they aren’t actually getting anything new or tangible out of this. A company spent 80 billion dollars to continue getting games they were always gonna get anyway. The only reason this makes people happy is the idea that playstation players won’t be able to play CoD.

Microsoft still isn’t actually creating anything new. 80 billion dollars could have created 10 mega gaming companies. You’re still pretty much in the same situation today that you were in on Monday.

Going by phils interview sounds like activision will be changing a lot, going away from codficiation of all the studios which was driven by SharePrice. So xbox fans will be getting a lot, that alone changes the situation at activision

Is that what happened at Rare? They put out a bunch of diverse and exciting titles over the last 15 years?

He’s right. I think I see what he’s trying to do now. He’s making it so that Amazon, Google, Facebook etc etc don’t bullshyt their way into the gaming space. I respect it.

Not saying MS ain’t capable of some bullshyt. But since they were selling. I’m MUCH happier either MS or Sony gets it over Amazon, Facebook, Google etc etc.
