AnK Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Lmao he is just saying that to come across as the “good guy” who will save gaming from “bad guys”. The same Iron Man/Thanos yin/yang that his shills are yabbing about. They don’t want to displease the Nintendo+Playstation consumers straight away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikushimi Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 21 minutes ago, PlainDosa said: Doesn't really say much. Existing agreements would obviously be honored and CoD is too big of a seller to be platform exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelivolusDas Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 That should clear the air quite a lot. CoD is staying. Others, only till the agreements allow. I guess MS is looking at CoD as how they approached Minecraft. Such a huge IP, that they're letting it be playable on as many platforms as possible.

This tweet can be construed in multiple ways. They can’t say much until the deal goes through else the acquisition might be questioned and blocked by Congress. Edit: Also, Sony might already have long term deals with Acti for major franchises like COD, so it’s not like MS has an option anyway. Interesting times !

hsk_colossus Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 In discussing some of the intellectual properties owned by Activision Blizzard, Spencer’s excitement may have mirrored the enthusiasm of a “StarCraft” player noticing the long-dormant franchise’s logo in Microsoft’s acquisition announcement. “I was looking at the IP list, I mean, let’s go!” Spencer said. “ ‘King’s Quest,’ ‘Guitar Hero,’ … I should know this but I think they got ‘HeXen.’ ” “We’re hoping that we’ll be able to work with them when the deal closes to make sure we have resources to work on franchises that I love from my childhood, and that the teams really want to get,” Spencer said. “I’m looking forward to these conversations. I really think it’s about adding resources and increasing capability.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
