Last year, Microsoft finally closed its longstanding deal to acquire Activision Blizzard. Following the legal saga behind this deal was quite a headache, but after just under two years of battling the courts, the FTC, and even Sony, Microsoft actually had ownership of one of gamings biggest publishers. The possibilities of this deal were endless, and speculation started to mount regarding what in the world Microsoft would do with Activision now that the deal was closed. The potential for certain franchises to land exclusively on Xbox platforms was the dominant topic of conversation, but it certainly wasnt the only one.
