Activision has a contract with Sony. Microsoft legally has to uphold it.

Normally I would agree, but as a consumer of World of Warcraft over the past ~6 years, I kinda feel like someone else telling them what they can and can't do will only improve the game. At the very least, it is impossible for it to get worse.

As interesting as this sounds, I'm not sure how well the Switch could even run a modern CoD game. Maybe a CoD Mobile port could work, but a modern mainline CoD game? Or Warzone? I dunno.

Hopefully, with a 10-year partnership agreed-upon, with this confirming that Nintendo has to have another console coming at some point soon, the new Switch will be closer to the Steam Deck in power. How many years will it take before Nintendo can sell Steam Deck-level Switch's at the price of a Switch? Obviously, it would be too costly if they were to release something such as the Deck right now.

Would it be that bad? It looked like shit but even the Wii could handle the COD games. The games are overall pretty small scale and linear.

Warzone might be tougher but the Switch does have Apex Legends and Fortnite.

I think it'll end up being legit.

They can't do anything until they actually own Activision. Which won't happen until next year. By then they both probably know that at the very least the dev kits for whatever Nintendo's system is working on will be out there. This 10 year deal probably doesn't even really start for releases until like 2025 or 2026. Probably when the Playstation one expires.

From what I understand Modern Warfare 2 2022 (lol) runs just fine on the Steam Deck. By using that sort of level as their base and going up from there will work fine. Call of Duty aren't super ambitious games really and still overall play like they did in the 360 era outside of Warzone. Combine that with Call of Duty needing short development times anyway and you're overall looking at a business model that makes sense.

Of course cloud gaming is possible but Nintendo had negotiating power here. Would be pretty stupid of them to agree to that or something like COD Mobile.

The other dumb thing for Sony is they also have a lot of bargaining power here. Want guaranteed ports of Bethesda games on top of COD? Fucking now is your chance idiots. Microsoft are desperate for this to go through.

Microsoft mainly wanted King. CoD was just a small bonus.

No I'm pretty sure they bought this to spite Sony after they ran a contract promising DLC on Sony consoles first.

This is what happened to Bethesda. Sony attempted to pay them for like 6 months timed exclusivity for Starfield and Microsoft's response was to buy the company.

Im really sick of this deal being held up. Its obvious Sony is just mad that they have fallen massively behind in the game pass style monetization. They should focus on building up their own platform instead of trying to prevent the competition. This is the future of gaming and theres no stopping it

I think they just bought them because both companies were seeing their overall value dropping and selling themselves to a company like Microsoft who are aggressively spending money in gaming was an easy solution to that problem.

Which yeah is also related to why Bethesda was suddenly all about timed exclusive deals.

Wii U got Black Ops and Ghosts. Hasn't been one since.

Which was honestly a bit strange considering how successful the Switch was and that Activision actually did bother to port the games to Wii and Wii U.

Yes, it is indeed the biggest thing but Sony only cares for CoD being on GamePass. That scares them to hell and back
