  • madsiesss noelle enjoyer (@madsiesss) reported

    @Ruskie_ @Opgamin01861371 @nytimes i uninstalled everything blizzard/acti except ow, mostly because ive sunk thousands of hrs into it, and also because the overwatch team wasn't a part of that, no issues came up there, but i understand that

  • Waheediiiiii Khan of Khans (@Waheediiiiii) reported

    @Kabir_1k Overwatch, no problem but you see COD?....AH!!!!!!!!!

  • OblivionWii Wiib (@OblivionWii) reported

    @Jasonhawkblood Too early to tell. I see both good and bad in this buy out. Good to help fix the shitshow that is Act/Blizz. (**** Bobby kotick). Bad is Microsoft owning ALOT in this deal. COD, Overwatch, Spyro, Crash, StarCraft, and ******* Candy Crush lol.

  • Zer03101 Zer031 (@Zer03101) reported

    @geoffkeighley It's the worst seeing how Microsoft is buying big studios and then like "We're gonna improve them" but we don't like for example if the next crash game that was multiconsole is gonna be exclusive, overwatch 2, etc. Making big IPs that were multiplatform exclusive is gonna be bad

  • UTB_Nidstang Nidstang_Under The Bun (@UTB_Nidstang) reported

    @RedX53 Doom, Halo, Quake, Wolfenstein, Hexen, Heretic, Overwatch, Call of Duty Not to mention Warcraft, Crash, Spyro All under Xbox now.

  • AbsoTheFox AbsoTheFox 💜🏳️‍🌈 (@AbsoTheFox) reported

    @Rulf_Foxton $70 Billion with a B. They will own CoD, Overwatch, Diablo, Crash, Spyro and more Jesus.

  • 0wlcohal 0wlcohalツ (@0wlcohal) reported

    @weaver_be @RedX53 the last of us, god of war, days gone, red dead redemption, horizon zero dawn, crash bandicoot and more, and those are just off the top of the head. buying cod and overwatch doesn’t mean its an automatic win..especially when sony still has better games STILL

  • akaGeneralJ General 🌙ohnston (@akaGeneralJ) reported

    @G27Status Blizzard might get it together now and we might get new Activision games on GamePass. Sounds good. What about new studios making new IP? This doesn’t offer anything to people who don’t play COD, Overwatch, WOW, or Diablo. Maybe this means Crash and Spyro aren’t dead? Seems weird

  • glop4short genderless lego overalls person (@glop4short) reported

    activision acquisition doesn't matter. they're not gonna ruin any of the franchises any more than activision already had (and if you care about, cod or overwatch or diablo, or wow, or hearthstone getting ruined, like, you've got bigger problems), & indies will keep indying

  • jmdornbush Jonathon Dornbush (@jmdornbush) reported

    @DanStapleton I do think they're working on it - their exclusive games with 3rd parties announced last year (Demolition, Firewalk, and Haven) all have multiplayer/live-service DNA it seems. Nothing is COD or Overwatch, but they do seem at least aware multiplayer is a thing they can bolster.

  • he_burntmyshake RuneScape Frog (@he_burntmyshake) reported

    @rockisinfinite @dinabass Nobody said "no exclusives" Spyro, Crash, etc can all become exclusive. They're talking about stuff like CoD and Overwatch. If Sony doesn't open up more to the idea of cross platforming then they might lose even more.

  • raullbenevides Raul - #FORABOLSONARO (@raullbenevides) reported

    @Romy_Arths @pedroxbz Tony Hawk, Spyro, Sekiro, Crash, COD, Overwatch, Pitfal, Guitar Hero, Diablo… tudo da Activision agora.

  • TheGoodIdiot Jordan Blake (@TheGoodIdiot) reported

    Activision Exclusivity predictions Overwatch - Multiplat COD - Multiplat Diablo - Exclusive Crash - Exclusive Spyro - Exclusive Tony Hawk - Multiplat(?) Guitar Hero - Multiplat(?) No idea of some of these actually get games in the next 5-10 years.

  • Jakester22 Jake Sever (@Jakester22) reported

    I don’t think that Xbox will risk making COD, Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Overwatch, Fallout, etc exclusive, but if the refuse to let Sony use them in their GamePass counter, Sony could be in big trouble over the long haul? What day you, @PaulCharchian and @Andrew_Reiner

  • SeanBradfos Bradfos (@SeanBradfos) reported

    @IGN I hope this doesn't lead to problems with having Overwatch 2 on Playstation. That would make me Le sad

  • josh_laborde Shuxoaj (@josh_laborde) reported

    @jmdornbush I'm legitimately interested in what happens to Crash and Spyro. Assuming new content is coming from both IP, are they now Xbox exclusive? Both have such strong ties to PS. Does Xbox play nice and let it go to PS since it's rather small franchises compared to CoD/Overwatch/WoW

  • MaskedUltra Masked_Ultra (@MaskedUltra) reported

    @KeitrenGraves In for it, there's a good opportunity to push COD to fix their anti cheat. Also able to replace and fix the damage from Blizzards management with the harassment. Also push Overwatch 2 to finally launch

  • lira_nroll AdrianLiraNroll 🇲🇽 (@lira_nroll) reported

    @ALGER_1987 You are saying you have never played: COD, Diablo, Overwatch, WOW, Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot, Sekiro, Spyro? I dont know what's more sad, that you have never played any of those games or your capping for PS

  • The7thLevel They STILL Call Me 7th (@The7thLevel) reported

    I mean overall, its MOSTLY back catalog. If you look at Activision's recent releases, lost of it was just acting as publisher, like with Sekiro. Crash Bandicoot is kinda dead, same with Spyro. That's not that many heavy hitters outside of COD, Diablo, Overwatch and WOW.

  • dankingorb ♌︎ (@dankingorb) reported

    Blizzard is in the hands of Microsoft now…. let’s see if they can fix Overwatch 🙏🏻

  • robin_vista RobinVista (@robin_vista) reported

    Is Microsoft trying to get me to play Overwatch or maybe Crash 4 since they're trying to redeem Activision Blizzard?

  • DanrebV DRV (@DanrebV) reported

    It goes without saying that the Activision-Blizzard deal is HUGE for the entire industry. As someone that doesn’t play Call of Duty or too many Blizzard titles outside of Overwatch, I’m hoping this opens the door for us to perhaps see more Crash, Spyro, and Tony Hawk. 1/2

  • thedollaryen ダールア円\ Dollar Yen (@thedollaryen) reported

    @saraheneedleman It's a step in the right direction for Activision. It's not going to solve the other issues overnight, but it's something to build upon. Overwatch 2 in 2024!

  • ElTortugaGames El Tortuga Games (@ElTortugaGames) reported

    @AnthonyPool450 @mrpyo1 I love from but that doesn’t equal activision. Freaking cod, overwatch, crash, Spyro, Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, tony hawk this purchase is wild

  • GaminGryff Gryff | Voice Actor | Elma Afficianado (@GaminGryff) reported

    @shinobi602 It's not really taking the games away from anyone though? Considering Microsoft allows plenty of their games on other hardware (Psychonauts, Doom, Minecraft, Ori, Banjo) I somehow doubt they're going to restrict Crash, Overwatch, CoD, etc. to be on other hardware.

  • TrojanGamerX Trojan (@TrojanGamerX) reported

    @bottygerjoe @hawaiinguy808 @FrontlineGamer Overwatch 2, WoW expansions and updates, apparently there IS something going on with Crash but that might had been shaken up by the whole scandal. I don't see Microsoft pulling support on Playstation JUST yet. At least not for a year or so after the ink dries.

  • Mlp_Ry Gen. Ryder BLM ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊ (@Mlp_Ry) reported

    Microsoft: now owns Fallout, Crash Bandicoot, Minecraft, and now Overwatch. That's something to wake up to

  • sugmaistaken Sugma (@sugmaistaken) reported

    Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard is the biggest move Xbox has ever pulled. That means they'll have the rights to Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot, and Call of Duty. Not only is this going to make Xbox a powerhouse but it also means the issues at Activision Blizzard will be fixed.

  • JERNIMOLPEZROD1 JERÓNIMO LÓPEZ RODRÍGUEZ (@JERNIMOLPEZROD1) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB This isn't happening....Crash, spyro, Skylanders (Probably), call of duty, overwatch...and more. Man! MICROSOFT IS NUTS!

  • MincePMA Mince 🇳🇿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 (@MincePMA) reported

    I wanna see an Overwatch version of Kitchen Nightmares where Contenders/OWL coaches join Discord teams and try and fix the **** shows they find.
