You don’t say you are maki my your games exclusive in the face of FTC scrutiny lol. They said the same vague statements about Bethesda, we all know how that turned out “there’s existing communities and franchises on playstation that we are going to support” -Phil Spencer on Bethesda

Interesting, hopefully people relax a bit more now. Be interesting to see what games this includes (CoD of course) & if they stick to it long term/give the full game/timed content etc.

It literally states in the article it’s for regulatory approval. This could still mean Warzone stays multiplat and that’s it. New IPs aren’t mentioned at all (which is what MS wants to make with Activision Blizzard)

So PlayStation could still possibly get the next diablo game?

I assumed Diablo 4 was already in the current agreement. But yeah, this is almost confirming that.

Man, I guess COD is cool now lol.

The kneejerk reaction of this sub was some of the saddest/funniest posts I've seen in a while.

Yeah. Both the doomers and the gloaters were waaaayyyy over the top.

From "LETS BRING BACK MAG/SOCOM/RESISTANCE" to "CoD sucks, who cares we have exclusives". It was a shit show.

so that Sony fans can continue to enjoy the games they love.

So, Elder Scrolls, Fallout etc will come too?

Jokes aside. This feels like it might just be to ease any qualms the FTC may have with this deal. It may also be that MS is worried that Sony will come up with their own alternatives to CoD - Deviation Games and so on - that allow it to take away from CoD's market share on PC too.

It could also just be that CoD does gangbusters on PS and MS wants that sweet sweet cash money. Especially since it cost them almost $70Bn and Activision/Blizzard/King only makes $2.5Bn in profit every year.

This makes a lot of sense given the direction Microsoft is headed. I think they care more about acquiring valuable IPs and getting people to play them on GamePass, rather than selling a bunch of consoles at a loss. Why make COD exclusive and lose a bunch of the player base when they can sit back and rake in the money from every platform, just like Minecraft? They have the same strategy with Office.

Yeah. This was the correct take all along, I think.
