Perhaps this is what Ybarra is alluding to in his tweet. "I don’t agree with the idea of a multi-game subscription service as a business proposition going forwards, but we can agree to disagree," he said. If the acquisition happens, Kotick acknowledged he'll be stuck with Game Pass whether he likes it or not. During the FTC trial, Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick admitted he's not a fan of multi-game subscription services, hence why Activision games have (largely, though not entirely) failed to appear on them. “But if they put it on GP I'll probably give it a go.”Įven if Microsoft were to buy Activision Blizzard, it’s unclear whether the likes of Diablo or Call of Duty would launch on Game Pass. “I wasn't going to buy it anyway,” Halos-117 said. Then there are those who say they won’t buy a copy of Diablo 4, but will play it if it were to come to Game Pass. Redditor Cannedcocktail said they own a copy of the game on Xbox, but are holding off on double-dipping on PC while “waiting impatiently for the trial outcome”. “I only want to play the campaigns tho.” “100% waiting,” added allnida. Redditor P0PE_F0X is doing just that: “I’ve been steadily holding off but the game looks so good I might cave.” “Yes same goes for COD,” i_am_legend26 agreed. Meanwhile, some Xbox owners are holding off on buying Diablo 4 in the hope the deal goes through and the game then comes to Game Pass.
An announcement could now be imminent, with all eyes on the San Francisco judge who is set to make a call on a preliminary injunction that, if successful, would probably put an end to Microsoft's pursuit of Activision Blizzard for good.
The entertainment world awaits a verdict in the FTC trial some experts say will determine the fate of the deal. That’s a definitive-sounding statement, but it hasn’t stopped some fans from wondering whether Diablo 4 will eventually come to Game Pass if Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion buyout of Activision Blizzard goes through. This is not happening.- Mike Ybarra July 11, 2023 Responding to a tweet from Game Pass Tracker that mentioned Diablo 4’s possible availability in Xbox Game Pass on a Brazilian payments app, Blizzard president Mike Ybarra said: “This is not happening.”
