FTC's expert: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.413969/gov.uscourts.cand.413969.224.0.pdf This stood out to me. I think it's probably most reasonable for Microsoft to double down on Battle Passes with CoD, with a big new release every 2-3 years. That would free up much of their support studios to work on exclusive projects and round out Games Pass' release schedule. An independent Activision doesn't need to support a console, so it makes sense to just ride the gravy train they've set up currently. On one hand, I'd love to see Activision pull away from CoD somewhat. On the other, Microsoft will leverage what they can to force the market in their direction with their wallet.

That comment also puts the 10 CoD year thing in it’s proper context. They don’t care as much about the here and now. They care more about the long term trajectory of their subscription library vs any competitor’s. Maybe in 10 years, almost no one buys games anymore, and CoD is mostly a subscription driver.

I’d like to think it too, but I know not to expect it. Maybe if FSR 2.0 wasn’t a thing. As it stands, console devs are already using it too much as a crutch, to questionable result with low input resolutions. It’s the same struggle that Series S will have more and more of. It’s only going to compound on portable hardware.

I’m sure they would after launch. There’s incentives for them to do it. We didn’t hear anything from Microsoft to say PS5 kits were still being withheld today. Phil was very cautious about that when asked about Minecraft on PS5. There’s another wrinkle here: Bungie. Think they’ll get Xbox Next kits early? We could be moving to a point where these aquired multi-platform studios can’t launch simultaneously if too close to a hardware launch. That might even include mid-gen machines. Even Nintendo could be dealing with this. They also tend to hold things close to the chest in the beginning. Then again, they did sign that CoD deal.
