Microsoft x Activision $68.7 Billion Deal Seems To Have No Effect On Call of Duty MWII’s Love For PlayStation Players, Gives Extra Features Instead

Over the past few months, the hype of Microsoft buying one of the biggest game-developing studios Activision Blizzard is making headlines. And amidst all this, the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is nothing short of a miracle.

Even so, there has been a recent development between the game and its fan base regarding a favor shown to PlayStation players, and a backlash can already be seen. Now the question has arisen are the game devs right for doing so? And regarding this, fans are sharing their thoughts on the matter as well.

Call of Duty gives exclusive benefits to PlayStation players

Recent reports claim that despite publisher Activision‘s long-standing negotiations with Microsoft, Call of Duty is giving PlayStation players an advantage. As a result, this has drawn a lot of criticism from fans who feel that the game is biased toward PlayStation users.

Some players even began to worry whether providing PlayStation gamers an advantage in competitive battles would be deemed cheating because the game is a cross-platform. Additionally, Xbox and PC players can’t toggle cross-platform matches.

Also, the news has been getting some really harsh comments from fans as they think Call of Duty has always given PlayStation players an extra something for the past few years, despite being a patron of Xbox for many years. Although, this is not true in any case or form, as Call of Duty has been a cross-platform game for its entirety.

Some extraordinary situations

Although most fans were angry about the biased nature of Activision towards Xbox players, some pointed out that it was not something new and that it has been happening with its other titles as well.

Notably, Sony has a deal with Activision regarding Call of Duty content that allows them to enjoy some rather extraordinary advantages over Xbox players. It is also to be considered that the game has been always associated with Xbox for some rather confusing reasons.
