Pocket watch one of the richest companies on earth brehsI'm sure it may be profitable and helpful to the devs, but MS spending all these billions and will want a return on investment sooner than later. GP already ain't profitable (they've alluded to this countless times). They need to get those subscriptions up to make this make sense. If Call of Duty was allowed to be on XBox/Gamepass only, that would have helped. But as you see, these other countries are not going to allow them to monopolize like that.
The deal will go through eventually but it will be under strict conditions that MS not make CoD exclusive to Xbox Platforms. One way to get around this is eventually put Gamepass on other platforms (which is the ultimate goal of MS).
Microsoft could throw money at gamepass for decades and it still wouldn’t make a major dent in their bank account.
Furthermore Microsoft themselves have come out to say gamepass isn’t burning money, it’s sustainable as it is right now.
Don’t know where y’all got the idea it’s losing money from.
As for COD being “exclusive” it doesn’t matter.
The day Microsoft announces that every single COD game past and future are available on gamepass it’s a wrap. Again sony themselves have said as much. Don’t know why you guys are in denial.

We can pull multiple quotes of the juelzing with them talking around the question of GP's profitability. We've done that over the years on here.
Games fall off all the time, having all of the CoDs on GP would be huge but will it be enough of a service seller is the question. Especially if they aren't allowed to make it exclusive.
Ain't like their track record with established games and running them into the ground isn't out there.
As far as throwing money at shyt for decades and still keeping it going? That's pure cap.
They've had countless products that have gotten bushed where they've invested major money in.

The microsoft shills are in absolute distress, they’re shytting on xbox in order to make a point that Microsoft deserves to acquire publishers to help them not suck
LMAO this is so pathetic
Yo gaming is really full of some complete lames
No. “we” can’t. Only official statement on it is that it’s not losing a bunch of money.
Sony thinks it will sell lots of subscriptions and make the market “unfair”. Why won’t you take their word for it??
Which established game did they run into the ground?
I said they “could” not that they would. But we don’t have to even worry about that cause gamepass is already sustainable as it is
You smart you know that shyt will be a tax write off. Microsoft could care less if it fails or succeed. They have the funds to support Gamepass just like they been supporting Office and their OS

MS: *attempts to acquire an already multiplatform publisher*
Bots: MS is trying to bring these games to more platforms! See, they're really the good guys!

He is, same shyt he said about Bethesda but once that deal went through they announced all that shyt was going exclusive. The fact that they're trying to force a garentee that Microsoft won't make Activision/blizzard games exclusive is telling, because Microsoft never put any of these promises on paper. Once this deal goes through and all contracts are fulfilled, all bets are off.Activision is already multi-platform.
It’s not like Activision only publishes on Sony consoles and MS is buying them to spread their titles to the masses. He is full of shyt. Hopefully the UK regulators sees through this bullshyt.
This is a company that is known to throw money around to eliminate competitors in other industries, I don't expect them to start playing fair now.

They’re saving us from amazon, google, and apple
Cause they would make all activision games exclusive to Luna, Stadia, Or Apple Arcade!
Again tax write off. A company with the financial wealth of a Microsoft Apple Google is nothing bro and you know this. Now if this was Sony yeah its a rap. PS3 almost put Sony up for sale.
No one likes losing money even with tax write offs. No one. Esp the tune of millions and billions.
