triggr happy ss Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) So another case by case basis if the deal goes through it seems. Sony pressed on just cod and they will get just cod as a grantee . Their approach was wrong ,should have just insisted that all legacy titles and spin offs should continue releasing on the PS and signed the deal without any drama. I think Diablo should be added to GP once the deal goes through. Edited March 25, 2023 by triggr happy ss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Diablo should be added to GP once the deal goes through. CoD was the deal maker/breaker in the market, so it was fine I guess. Diablo coming to GP now would be great. Really hope World of Warcraft comes too (and that the GamePass sub fees is enough and they don't charge the separate $15/month fee that they charge now). That said - approval from US is still remaining right? And from other Schengen countries as well? It'll be a long time before Diablo or any Acti-Blizz sees daylight on GP, maybe 1 year at minimum I guess. Also, this is quite a big blow to Sony, don't know if they realize it though. Yes, CoD will be on PS. But it will be on GP as well. That is, on PS it will cost $60 (or $70 - MS will ensure that price remains), while it will be essentially free for PC and Xbox owners. Tons of people are going to migrate there I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal will close by June and we should get majority of the games on GP latest by this fall.

Sony can go f**k in hell with all their exclusives and still crying the victim card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeda Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 All Activision games should be available for all consoles even after Acquisition. That's my opinion on it. I also want other Activision studios to make something fresh and new after Acquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
