It shouldn't matter.
Either they agree with the service or they don't.

If after possibly being purchased by MS they changed their stance than that wouldn't be believable.
Releasing day and date cannibalizes sales. If the game is five years old it’s a totally different animal.

That 1b in sales alone across all platforms is pretty impressive. Huge money maker, they should just keep it on PS indefinitely but maybe have battlepass boosts or something like that as a GPU perk if the deal goes through.
 
Wow the spin is real.
Have fun renting those s***ty games on that half gen device.

20+ years and billions to spend with not a single console selling exclusive two generations straight 🤭 Phil hasn't done enough! Spin back more if the salt compels you!
See. Nothing but dumb fanboy drivel.

They could add random skins as perks for gpu members

I think it depends on the game and environment, marketing is a big factor as well.

Fall guys still sold like gang busters even though it was free on ps+. I think the medium devs recouped their cost on their first day of release and the ascent made $5 million on its first weekend.

I can only faintly recall one title on bith platforms saying it hurt them but in said story’s neither dev and game was disclosed.

What probably hurts them the most is if they take a crappy deal not thinking their game may not hit as big and then become a surprise hit.

Didn't seem to hurt Playstation's GOTY:Stray.

It is all about context. Activision didn't say it would cannibalise sales, they were just concerned about it. Not much point a huge franchise like that taking the risk. Same as You wouldn't see GTA6 take that risk.
 
Activision says putting their games on Xbox Game Pass or other subscription services would "lead to brand dilution & cannibalization of sales"


Funny how all the quotes are definitive but the actual the comment made wasn't.

Key part that you all miss out in your misleading quotes, "Activision is concerned" it would hurt sales and lead to brand dilution.

kind of funny, though. It is a game that makes more from MXs than game sales and since Playstation is its biggest market, potentially forgoing a few sales on Xbox for a potential revenue from an extra 25 million gamers may end up being more lucrative anyway.

They can follow movie model. Only in cinema for first 3 months, then release on Disc & streaming services later.
 
Is Warcraft still big for them, how much is it?
It is staill number 1 MMO in the world iirc. The active numbers have dropped, but the genre has drop in popularity over time also.

The big game coming out soon will be Diablo 4. Will be big if on gamepass. I am a diablo fan since I was a kid.

I had a notebook where I theorycrafting unique items & stats & I drew a lot of Diablo characters (2nd after street fighters) which I am guessing are still in some folders my mom kept in my old room at my Parent's place.

She used to show my drawings to guests when they came to the house which often make me embrarass, as some are very kinky like cammy & chun li drawings I drew.

The article author mentioned cannibalization of sales and dilution of brand, but that also wasn't just directed at GP, but subscription services in general.

Agree that is about context - No huge IP would release day and date on GP without MS paying an incredible amount of money.
