PS players will populate Battlefield propably if they wont get access to cod, which is just better multiplayer game since cod multiplayer is dogshit with the shit going around their SBMM and I will be able to play cods lackluster 4 hour short dogshit campaign on gamepass without buying the game.

    One thing I really hope is that they create a Warcraft game that has WoW's storylines from its expansions but focused on single player. That way, there's an option whether one wants to play the story alone or with friends. I also hope they bring back the old Transformers War for Cybertron games. Imagine those things being remastered and heading to game pass. I miss those games

    Not all mergers results in layoffs, I was employed by one company that just then announced a merger about a month after I was hired, so naturally I was worried about my job and no one I knew was laid off. Sure, it happens and sucks when it does, but not every merger is bad.

    I’m very happy to see the deal go through solely for the extreme meltdown and irony of Sony fanboys crying about exclusives lmfao. I don’t really care about cod personally, I pick up a new cod game every once and a while, play the campaign, tdm for a few weeks, and that’s pretty much it. Would really like to see Microsoft revive some old ip’s and see them divert studios from cod to make new games from other ip’s. Other than that I don’t really care. Primarily an Xbox guy but I have all 3 consoles so I’m not really losing anything from any of these companies.

    Xbox has clearly stated that they do not care about console sales, yet many people still discuss it as if it would bring about some change, despite Xbox's lack of interest. It seems they have realized that they won't surpass the market leader in console sales, so they compensate for this by focusing on Game Pass to offset any potential losses. This strategy is actually quite clever. Why invest a significant amount of money in something that won't yield substantial profits when they can redirect those funds towards enticing people to subscribe to Game Pass on PC, which is a much larger platform than PlayStation, If they were to include games like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, and Diablo in Game Pass, more people would be inclined to sign up on PC. This is a smart move. Moreover, Game Pass already generates significant revenue, and the inclusion of Candy Crush, which is one of the best-selling mobile games alongside Minecraft, Roblox, and Call of Duty Mobile (developed by King), further adds to Xbox's potential profitability. By expanding beyond consoles, Xbox is embracing a good idea that has been successful for companies like Disney.
