It will and who here really gives a shit? How often did we ever see anyone praising call of duty. Its been a laughing stock for years. Nothing is lost for most of us here who don't even play call of duty.

I'm a nerd who actually WANTED to work at Gamestop when I was 19 (though I never did).
This is exactly the kind of stuff that made even ME apalled and disappointed with my gamer brethren. I grew up under the impression I was the biggest nerd of all time only to learn what REAL nerds are like. JFC. Today, just thinking about the behavior of the game store employees I've seen first hand makes me want to crawl under a rock and hide my game collection.

I’m not doing anything, I’m repeating what Microsoft said.

The casual market is huge and CoD makes a ton of money. I’ve never played a CoD game in my life, but I’d be stupid if I pretended this won’t have a big impact on the industry. Just look at Sony stocks since the news came out.

Not having CoD is surely a benefit?

Of course it will have an impact but it will level off. Also I'm not even talking about casuals. I'm talking about the hardcore who have been hating call of duty for years. Nothing is lost for you guys apart from your feeling being hurt because Sony will lose some money and hardware sales. Who cares? Sony can lose 10m players and still sell over 100m consoles.

Can you link me the source, brother?
Given its one of the most popular franchises, people really never stopped caring.

For using her/his job position to personal interest.
That is a rule in every single job contract in the world.

"Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony. I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship."Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer wants to “keep Call of Duty on PlayStation”
Call of Duty might remain multiplatform.
" we respect current contracts and then we go exclusive".
They said the same with Bethesda until the deal was done. If they tell now that they will go exclusive, then the anti trust law would instantly block any acquisition.
Spencer says nothing about call of duty for PlayStation after the , which is something he specific mentions.
He says nothing about call of duty onward after the agreement.
Why is PlayStation not listed for Starfield? It makes no sense since Spencer loves to purchase expensive companies and release the games as multi platform.
I'm confused.

Someone told me recently that Starfield is a timed exclusive and will be hitting PS5 6-12 months after its Xbox launch"Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony.

Edit: Also where did you get a PS5?

They could just put that on a little sticky note on each boxed copy of Destiny 2.
Is there even boxed copies anymore since its free 2 play?

It would be pretty backward of any retailer to do something of that type.
The fact that the person who reported it is saying that the retailer "allegedly" did it largely suggests that it's either the person who's reporting it looking for a bit of publicity or somebody who works in the shop making a joke.
My business isn't a retail business but I know that my employees know better than to joke about things publicly, the Call of Duty notice could affect people buying a product but with all of the recent news about all the crap in Activison being public outside of gaming news channels, this could go equally as badly in other direction also.
Even if it was somebody joking and feeling that they were trying to help customers by throwing the Activision name around I would imagine it is well above the pay grade of the people who are serving customers.

I think Spencer is just playing games with his wording there. CoD will come to PS5 after 2023."Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony. I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship."

it's a bit ahead for the last 30 days on Steam, but Halo is multiple spots ahead of Destiny in the most played games on Xbox... so
I guess Destiny has the advantage to also be on PS4.

I don't think the majority of people on sites like this do. They'll just use it as fuel in their fanboy wars to prop up their favorite box.
