Then they complain about Game Pass becoming too good value and that they can't compete with that but they are locking third party titles under exclusivity deals and setting clauses with publishers prohibiting from putting their games on GP (especially JP publishers where they are a defacto monopoly)
Then there is the matter that CoD is nothing special overall, a military shooter with cinematic campaign and nice graphics, something that a good Developer team (like the ones Sony have) can replicate with enough founding.
Worse, they don't innovate as much as Sony (handheld consoles, controller with haptic feedback and VR for example)
Microsoft is pumping billions into their services to buy studios, seduce developers and selling the console as a $200 loss [1]; and yet players are not interested if we look at the sales data
Activision should remain independent; Microsoft has billions of dollar, they don't need to take the industry as a hostage to enforce their poor culture to everyone
