@MrHiP3R @FederalStrength @garywhitta I do not think so! Most of Activision games are on Windows PC, so we are "only" speaking about COD and Overwatch (+ Spyro and Crash) on consoles. This is big new do not get me wrong, but not as schocking as a SONY/Nintendo acquisition IMO, only due to cheer number of franchises

@ItsVospha I 100% agree. With the issues both Blizzard and Activision have had recently I think a change could push things forward. Clean updates and getting games released! Been waiting on overwatch 2 forever. And I’m sad Warzone has been so broken!

@PrestigeIsKey I think it will. Crash and Spyro won't be but COD and Overwatch will be. They could make up the from the losses easy with Warzone and Game Pass.

Xbox fanboys excited that Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard is so sad. Like Activision has the SH problems and the only two big things they have are COD and Overwatch...WoW isn't as popular as it use to be is it?

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

Xbox now owns Crash bandicoot, Overwatch, Tony Hawk, and COD. Playstation might not have the better exclusives anymore

@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.

@EnigmaticWolff @KharloKong Agreed this is so big Diablo, Wow, Crash Bandicoot, overwatch, Spyro, Call of Duty.

@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!

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

@Saberspark So, are we gonna get Crash or an Overwatch character as our next Microsoft rep in a possible new Smash instalment?

@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

@Josh92173783 @thegameawards Xbox lets their studios have autonomy. The reason they buy them is to have money flowing similar to Tencent. I guarantee they bought ActiBlizz to clean house and fix up their wasted moneymakers like WoW and Overwatch

@Intentionallyz To be fair, “Blizzard writes the characters” is one of the biggest problems with Overwatch

WTF is Microsoft is doing? They got Bethesda? And now? Activision Blizzard? Crash and Spyro would be missed. 😞 but at least I don’t care about the Overwatch, CoD, StarCraft and Warcraft in my gaming life. 😑

@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

@RubenTr68117257 @OverwatchNaeri @_XboxNews Yeah cosmetics I have no issue with being exclusive. I’ll just be disappointed if I bought Overwatch just for them not to implement Overwatch 2 stuff into the first game and make it completely Exclusive to Xbox and PC.

@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.

(@Thecalzone_) reported
@VocalPineapples @PS360HD2 At least it’s not like the Bethesda deal where 99% of games will be exclusive. It’ll only be certain games, so cod and overwatch will not be console locked. And Spyro and crash were both made under PlayStation don’t get ur hopes up ab them being on gamepass.

@XcloudTimdog COD/Overwatch is Minecraft tier, I can’t see them taking that away. Everything else like Diablo, Crash etc. I can see them locking that down.

With Microsoft's $68mn purchase of Activision Blizzard they now have the IP Rights for: COD Overwatch Crash Spyro Skylanders Candy Crush + all other King games And more that I probably can't think of rn What ******** 😐

@Nibellion Probably Crash and platform games will be exclusive, such as new ip's but I believe CoD will be on PS. I really think that they are gonna rebuild the Overwatch team, and make it exclusive or Free to Plat but put it on GamePass? I see that coming.
