Wouldn't this be breaking the marketing agreement between Sony and Activision in some manner?
It's strange they mention it while still under contract with Sony is what I'm saying.
Maybe MS accepted Sony's offer (see Jim Ryan's email) to change the marketing agreement?

well, once they hit gamepass you can expect the games to become worse and worse until they are a shadow of their former selves, just like the games from every other ms-owned studio
Either we don't know the actual agreement, they decided not to respect it (pay the fee associated with it), there was some new "agreement" happening behind closed doors or the purchase broke the engagement.
They are panicking because Diablo 4 sales cratered and COD is the only thing left that sales. Game pass will cannibalize the legs of all these games.
Maybe this deal was a good thing after all

Nah, imo gamepass I forsee will further dilute COD and will degrade it even more (in terms of development I mean).
Crash trilogy, Crash 4, Tony Hawk and many CODS were all on PS+ without Sony buying Activision so this deal is basically worthless.
It won't stop the shills from acting like it's the biggest megaton to hit GP. They keep shitting on PS+ even if we got it first.

I can see what's her face the COO blaming Sony knowing full well they only have marketing contract for call of duty
Also does anyone remember when mw2 realeased & Activision said it was going to have 2 years of support & have the most post launch content of any cod ... Bullshitting greedy bastards
Plus monthly games are a very different arrangement than Game Pass, and are paid for each download. The games are also only available to subscribers to add to their library for one month, where Game Pass games are made available for however long the games are on the service for a flat fee to the publisher.
In short, PS Plus made Activision a lot more money than Game Pass would have, so they took the deals. It isn’t rocket science.
I knew it was a mistake checking the replies of that tweet, but I do it to myself every time. The xbots really know how to get under my skin

This is actually a good thing this will bring the bar down and actually give other FPS developers a chance to finally step in the spotlight. Still not to fond of Xbox having control over them but considering their track record its a good thing. Atleast in terms of quality decline on their end.
On another note damn Thrash is going ham on their tweet right now.

Call of Duty makes a lot more money on PS5 and PS4 than on Xbox
Call of Duty games, like Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, net publisher Activision Blizzard more money on Sony's PS5 and PS4 consoles than Microsoft's Xbox consoles.
I mean COD makes way more money on Sony so they'll still make money they probably have a switch dumb downed version plsnned down the line. Micro is hoping once again this venture will raise subs by a good amount although we all know it won't. Micro/Activision will indeed lose profits once COD is under their banner
Now sales will fall even further from they heyday sales of COD.
Fuck Activision.
Fuck Activision.
