I'm curious to see if/how this will affect Diablo 4.

Most likely Microsoft will sent Cease and Desist letter to any other entity that uses, hosts, manipulates or impacts their revenue stream.

Potentially including d2jsp so be prepared.

They didn't spent $96B for fun.

Blizzard and Activision have been trying to do this for years. The most concerning thing is will Microsoft make everything Xbox/PC exclusive. With titles like COD they’d be leaving a ton of revenue on the table.

They won't bother with D2jsp. They may try and get rid of D2 Mods like POD and PD2 though.

I don't think we'll see much change on the consumer side of things until new launches come around.


There isn't a large gap for doing worse than Act-Blizz currently has been the last couple years. Huge margin for improvement though.


I don't think they're going to lock anything in for exclusives like COD etc because they love money. I can see them doing like free guns/mtx skins for playing on a Microsoft platform though.

They did make ES6 and Starfield exclusive to Xbox upon acquisition though.

Different market shares. COD makes so much money on PlayStation.

Yeah. I figure COD would stay. I’m hoping Diablo does. Out of all the series Diablo is the one I play.
