Wow. Terrible for the industry but hopefully they will at least clean house on the upper management. On the other hand, other than CoD (which has heavily declined) and their recent PS1-based stuff (Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk remakes and Crash 4), Activision Blizzard is largely PC and mobile focused these days. Losing CoD and any future Crash/Spyro/Tony Hawk games is a blow for Sony but the rest is more Microsoft consolidating its dominance in the PC space, expanding into the mobile sector, and making Gamepass even more appealing so maybe not much will change even if CoD goes exclusive. CoD is arguably at its least relevant since 3 so what will actually be lost? Still a big seller though it is seeing greatly diminishing returns.

Interestingly Sony have been pushed into a more Nintendo-like situation this generation with a heavy reliance on first party games and unique hardware. Frankly this is understandable as it would be extremely difficult for them to retaliate. What is even the largest publisher they could buy? I struggle to see them going past a Devolver and definitely not an EA or an Epic Games.
