Microsoft has launched a new website that offers a bunch of resources with regard to Xbox’s acquisition of Activision. Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that it would be acquiring Activision for just under $70 billion. It’s an incredibly historic deal for the entertainment industry as a whole and if it goes through, it will be the most expensive deal in the history of gaming. It would give Microsoft control over Activision, developers like Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Blizzard, and franchises like Call of Duty. It would be a treasure trove of content for Xbox and this has caused concern from competitors like PlayStation. PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has already made his stance on the matter very clear, expressing concern and outrage over the deal. Xbox has tried to ease the concerns by stating it will keep Call of Duty on PlayStation going forward, but the long-term future is still a bit murky.
