And was that a good thing? Or has it just resulted in exclusives that will be forever trapped on the PS3 unless the IP holder decides to rebuild them from the ground up, while yielding no actual benefits for the games themselves? ConfusedTorchic posted... about that https://www.vgchartz.com/article/457676/bobby-kotick-regrets-not-bringing-call-of-duty-to-the-switch 404'd, but I'm inclined to take the headline claim with a grain of salt. If ABK wanted CoD on the Switch, they could do it at any time. It's not like they had to sign a contract when the Switch came out either pledging eternal support or promising never to release CoD on it. They just have to say "hey, I've changed my mind, let's put the next CoD on Switch as well." They haven't, so unless this is Kotick only just realizing this in the last couple months, I have to question how strong that regret actually is. But hey, maybe it'll work out. I guess we'll see.

We can only hope. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. <cite>adjl posted [p:974890865] in microsoft ...
