They don’t know how to get them to branch out and make new IPS. For all the studios they have there’s no way they should be in a drought like this. Once Microsoft has Call of duty exclusive to Xbox it will be be downhill for the franchise you watch.

I agree to an extent.

A lot of the IPs that Activision owns are proven and successful brands with cultural cache. Warcraft/WoW, Starcraft, Overwatch, Guitar Hero, etc. All of these franchises are brands that casuals would get excited for without much effort. I think MS may release F2P versions of these games to monetize these games on a long term basis for Game Pass.

Its a wrap for all of the smaller IPs under Activision tho. No way MS is going to bring back shyt like Legacy of Kain.

MS is too casual to even think about touching Legacy of Kain.

Two separate games.:stopitslime:
5 for horizon
4 for motorsport.

In that same time there’s been 7 ratchet and clank games.

8 uncharted games

7 God of War

4 TLOU in just 9 years with another coming soon.

Good guy sony “milking franchises” :wow:

Go Check the wiki’s

As usual you are deluded by your sony stan glasses.

If 5 games in 10 years is “milking”

Sony out here looking like the milk man himself :wow:
:dead:

Apparently according to xbots The Last of Us and Uncharted are the same exact game but Forza’s are entirely different IP :mjlol:

You dont get it. One is open world Need For Speed and the other is a Gran Turismo clone. Uncharted is just Last of Us but the apocalypse hasnt happened yet.
