Ok.....which one of you is on twitter rubbing it in?
They keep regurgitating "everybody in the games industry wants this"
No. CEOs who could get billions themselves one day want this
Actual developers don't think it's a good idea
Its not the only one
There's a reason they wanted to sell. I'm sure that still exists.
They wanted to sell because MS approached them and offered far more than they were worth.
lol.....sure, Microsoft can appeal the penalty to the court of appeals. And CMA can still force Microsoft to divest ABK.
Read more folks!
Yep
Activision has put Call of Duty games on the Wii alongside more powerful systems. If they were going to attempt to put out a version that was the same, they would obviously need to make compromises and adjustments, but the core gameplay and content could still be the same. I mean, COD: MW did release on the PS3/X360 after all. The gameplay and content on the versions we got on the PS3/360 weren't degraded; at least no one considered them to be at that time.

This is likely what MS was planning (if they were even thinking of a native one). It's not impossible
That was a possibility some time ago, but now the hardware differences have become way too big between PS5/XSX and Nintendo Switch. Switch is great, but it's not even as powerful as a 2013 PS4. There is a two-generation gap between the two consoles.Activision has put Call of Duty games on the Wii alongside more powerful systems.

Yeah, "please fuck up the company you just bought for 70 billion dollars" isn't a good option.
Looking at a different studio that was put in a position of being forced to develop for the Switch, it's an absolute miracle that Sony San Diego was able to create a version of MLB The Show that offers feature parity with other versions. But they sacrificed a lot of graphical fidelity to achieve that goal.

According to Phil Spencer, the deal was primarily about King and Candy Crush - not Activision.
It's about everything.According to Phil Spencer, the deal was primarily about King and Candy Crush - not Activision.
Question: "You're buying the Candy Crush company. People think about it as Call of Duty or whatever, but you're buying Candy Crush."
Phil Spencer: "Absolutely. In addition, the number that's not in the Candy Crush/King number is Call of Duty: Mobile and Diablo mobile, which are big franchises that exist in that Activision and Blizzard bucket that are also major players on phones. Yes, the idea that Activision is all about Call of Duty on console is a construct that might get created by our console competitor and maybe some players out there."
It's been explained time and again why you're wrong so it's a waste of time trying to explain it again.
Maybe, maybe not. But that's not what Phil Spencer said, as I just showed you.
Absolutely not. In fact, everyone knows deep down that this is the right decision.
This is the main one, I thought MS were just throwing in the towel early but it seems they thought they could have everything they wanted without consequence.
