I honestly couldn't care less about COD being exclusive or whatever. I'm more interested in Diablo and maybe some StarCraft or WarCraft single player narrative games.

It's going to be awesome to get to play COD single player campaigns without having to buy the games though. That's honestly all I ever do with them.

ETA: Sony coming to this agreement destroys whatever arguments the FTC still had. The CMA is now the only hurdle. MS/ABK will close over the CMA if it looks like they won't be able to come to a constructive agreement, but if they think the CMA might be willing to deal it isn't out of the question that they extend the deadline a little longer in hopes of closing the deal without "closing over" the UK. Would be a good faith move so they are in a better position with the regulator for future purchases.

If talks break down though, they'll definitely close over the UK.

This only makes sense if Sony didn’t express concerns originally. Which they had every right to do by the way. The only reason they’re signing it now is because they have no other choice.

Is PlayStation customers going to benefit from this as well…? Probably not. Thanks MS for thinking about ALL gamers!
