“Making Deals for Games That Aren’t Yours Yet” – Fans Hilariously Mock Microsoft After the Xbox Maker Promises to Offer Call of Duty on Nintendo Consoles!

Microsoft will not reduce its efforts of acquiring Call of Duty publisher Activision at any cost. This is quite evident to see from the constant actions taken by the execs of the Xbox maker. They want to make the $68.7 billion deal happen, no matter what.

And working towards this objective, Microsoft’s President recently announced major news, surprising every gaming enthusiast and industry. He mentioned that his company had signed a huge deal with Nintendo for the future. It will see the arrival of more Xbox titles on Nintendo’s consoles, including Call of Duty.

Gaming lovers are in disbelief over Microsoft and Nintendo’s deal for Call of Duty and Xbox titles

In case anyone missed keeping track of events, Microsoft’s President Brad Smith stunned everyone on Tuesday by sharing a big update. On Twitter, he revealed that his company has entered into a 10-year deal with Japanese giant Nintendo. Here’s what his tweet mentioned:

“We’ve now signed a binding 10-year contract to bring Xbox games to Nintendo’s gamers. This is just part of our commitment to bring Xbox games and Activision titles like Call of Duty to more players on more platforms.”

It implies that Microsoft is very much confident in acquiring Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard. Probably that’s why Brad Smith came up with such a tweet while also informing about the ‘binding contract’. Right now, their proposed acquisition of Activision is not yet approved. However, they have now come out and revealed their intentions, while also reiterating that COD will remain on multiple platforms, including PlayStation.

But it looks like most of the gaming lovers didn’t buy the idea of signing a deal with Nintendo for an IP that is still not owned by Microsoft. Most of the people on Twitter hilariously reacted to this announcement. They couldn’t believe that the Xbox maker had signed a binding contract with Nintendo for Call of Duty even though their ambitious deal with Activision was still not fully approved.

“Weird making deals for games that aren’t yours yet? This won’t help your case with the FTC & CMA etc as this hasn’t been their concern. This is so performative & redundant”, wrote one user.
