MS main goal is gamepass. With starfield ES6, I expect call of duty to be exclusive too.Agreed. But it wouldn't surprise me if MS did choose to leave CoD $70 on PS and pick around the edges more for exclusive content. "Free" vs. $70 is a compelling advantage alone, plus, once you get past the existing Sony contracts it won't be Xbox missing modes and DLC content. Some of these acquisitions are about protecting content vs. 100% exclusives, IMO. Xbox can never lose CoD now, and should things move in a more streaming focused future, MS's service will have CoD when no others would.
With that said though, Activision is painting a picture that definitely leaves room for exclusives. Especially after Activision responded with a list of specific titles rather than a blanket statement when questioned about the future of CoD.
You dont get new gamepass subs, if you share your games. By putting it on PC, you enticing them to join PC gamepass.
MS wants to build a pc store, and make Windows store attractive, along side gamepass pc.
