That is an excessive amount of Xbox platform exclusives. MS must have some unique plans with Game Pass.
 
As everyone in the comments said, MS said the same thing about Bethesda. I'd wager that anything being released this year and next will be multiplatform. But once the deal actually closes in sometime in June 2023, I'd expect everything to become exclusive.
Other tweets are saying "finishing out contracts" from analysts and sources. This is just insane.

The major games with online play won't be console exclusive.
Are there many Console centric games besides COD. Most Blizzard games (WOW, Overwatch, Starcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo) are PC & mobile centric
 
And what's up with all this gloom and doom (HA) for Sony. Sony is still in a strong position as the market leader of next gen ( Switch not withstanding).

While these acuistions strengthen MS, I don't think that they necessarily hurt Sony. Playstation is buoyed by their strong first party offerings and worldwide appeal. They will be fine but it sure looks like MS is coming to really compete this generation and potentially dominate next gen.

Agreed, Sony and Nintendo are going to be just fine. Competition is a good thing for all gamers.

They can't not get hurt by losing major multiplatform games and how much market share can they afford to lose without Microsofts deep pockets?
 
So outside of the obvious Ips like Overwatch, Diablo, COD, Starcraft and WOW, what else does MS get out of this. Obvioulsy the worldclass studios under Acti/Bliz but anything else I'm missing?
