The more I think about it, the more I look forward to the deal going through. Game Pass is already a good value for me and my family, adding ABK into the mix will only make it better.
It would be a shame if MS were allowed to have CoD as a console exclusive, I do hope that isn’t the case —however these boxes are not financially out of reach for most people, and those who primary PS can buy an Xbox if they want to play CoD.
If it doesn’t go through, I guess thens the breaks. I own all three major consoles this gen so personally I’m not worried about content being out of my reach, and I suspect if most people took a deep breath they’d likely feel the same way. I know it’s en vogue to be a doomer about this deal and others like it, but the alternative seems worse to me. The deal falls through and it’s bad news for Activision, and I suspect MS will repurpose those funds for other purchases. Also, I’d much rather see MS have ABK under their umbrella that Tencent, Google, or Amazon. This does seem like a “lesser of evils” sort of scenario.
