Microsoft president Brad Smith has confirmed details of the company’s offer to keep the Call of Duty franchise on PlayStation for at least a decade
“Acquiring Activision Blizzard would enable Microsoft to compete against these companies through innovation that would benefit consumers,” he claimed. “While modern consumers can stream videos or music on multiple devices on low-cost subscription plans, many games can often only be individually purchased and downloaded onto one device.
“Microsoft wants to change that by offering consumers the option to subscribe to a cloud gaming service that lets them stream a variety of games on multiple devices for one reasonable fee. It would also benefit developers by allowing them to reach a much broader audience.” Smith’s opinion piece concluded: “Think about how much better it is to stream a movie from your couch than drive to Blockbuster. We want to bring the same sort of innovation to the videogame industry.”
