One user spoke about how if Microsoft had not revived the franchise, they wouldn’t have utilized the full potential with the acquisition of Activision.

Another user spoke about the tactics that Microsoft might follow to gain attention towards the game. He also made a comparison between Activision and Insomniac, stating that the former has always been the greatest studio in making a superhero game.
First they will push out a patch for Smart Delivery or some improvement in Prototype games. Get some traction, and then maybe full on dive deep into it.
People are thinking that Insomniac is best in super hero games but in fact Activision was goat since beginning.
