The new report today is that Activision offered themselves to Microsoft to purchase them after going to Facebook/Meta first. Now, imagine if Facebook bought Activision for their Meta platform. About worries of monopoly, I do not think this even comes close to monopoly. Activision Blizzard is just so big that people assume that. Embracer has over 100+ studios, Tencent has shares and ownership of tons of studios including EPIC, TakeTwo just bought Zynga for $12bn, Sony are still buying teams after buying many teams in 2021. This is not even close to a monopoly. On a positive side, this purcahse will unleash Activision/Blizzard. Imagine teams like Raven Software; Toys for Bob; High Moon making brand new IPs and games now under Xbox. Banjo Kazoie is now possible, Fighting games are now possible under these new studios. These studio's creativity will now be revived

While I do think initially think this will be a great deal for GamePass / GP Ultimate subscribers, I also just think about with all these other big acquisitions, when is the other shoe gonna drop? Ya know, the one where these companies have to eventually recoup that money- and that comes from our pockets in the form of subscriptions. Those $10-15 GP / GPU prices are definitely going away. It’s just a matter of time of when and how much and how often it goes up (I STILL can’t fathom the magnitude of the Bethesda / Activision deals) and then the question becomes by each consumer “is GP still a good value?” I have so many more thoughts, but yea I’ll stop.

I think all games will be available everywhere on Gamepass but they will come with all Microsoft services. Xbox will the the best place to experience them though. During the interview they even mentioned its the metaverese game. E.g. they want to incorporate Teams in the games so that is your default audio/video communication tool when playing them. I think, this way Microsoft will start getting a monopoly "again" over all the third party support services like discord. Getting the young people incorporated to the microsoft ecosystem. Cause this makes the $70bn mere peanuts compared to the big game being played here.

I think this year’s CoD will be on PS and game pass at launch but after that, they will be Xbox and PC only. PS could do with SOCOM when that happens.

I’m a GamePass subscriber and I think they should leave it on PS. The increased player base is only a plus to the players. Especially more console players, because I hate playing cross play with PC in shooters.

totally agree with Paris's take on this. Hope I am wrong and both Nintendo and Sony can continue to put up some good competition against Microsoft, but losing out on two major publishers with potential for more down the road just seems like a move to suck out the air from the competition/stop any potential new competitor from ever getting ground in the space. Just feels like the Windows Microsoft finally showed up.

Honestly, I don't really care about this acquisition as I don't play multiplayer games which is what the company is more geared towards. I think the last game from the company that I put at least 100 hours into was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Since the whole microtransaction system is becoming mainstay in such games, I just never bothered to even try. But good for Game Pass subscribers I guess.
