Which game from Activision/Blizzard will you miss if they go full exclusive?

[DonFerrari]

Hi there guys.

I`m not asking about if anyone think MS will stop releasing any given franchise on other platforms after the deal is finished. MS won't confirm anything until the deal is fully done, and so far what we have is loosely open statements, but if we go the optimistic route that no games already released will be removed, all deals and already announced titles will release as promised and at least CoD won`t go exclusive there isn`t much to discuss on that end.

So for this thread my question is much simpler one, and you can divide your answer in two categories. One talking about what are current IPs being released in somewhat consistent manner and the other dormant IPs that they haven`t released in a long time.

Also important to note that we are only talking about IPs that have been released in consoles, because otherwise it can`t even be considered as a loss since they won`t remove content from PC at all.

On my end there isn`t much from Activision I would miss, although I have played several CoDs when given for free on PS+ I won`t miss those, Guitar Hero is a dead franchise for me, I liked the remake of Spyro but not crash, and haven`t played the new title, so there is it from top of mind. I`ll do a little research on their Ips to make an answer close to what I have asked =]

List of IPs (source https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/list-heres-every-activision-blizzard-ip-xbox-now-owns-including-crash-bandicoot-and-guitar-hero/ )

• Blur
• Caesar
• Call of Duty
• Candy Crush
• Crash Bandicoot
• Diablo
• DJ Hero
• Empire Earth
• Gabriel Knight
• Geometry Wars
• Guitar Hero
• Gun
• Hearthstone
• Heroes of the Storm
• Hexen
• Interstate ’76
• King’s Quest
• Laura Bow Mysteries
• The Lost Vikings
• Overwatch
• Phantasmagoria
• Pitfall
• Police Quest
• Prototype
• Quest for Glory
• Singularity
• Skylanders
• Solider of Fortune
• Space Quest
• Spyro the Dragon
• StarCraft
• Tenchu (legacy games)
• TimeShift
• Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
• True Crime
• World of Warcraft
• Zork

So after looking at this list I also liked Warcraft 2 (but not into that type of game anymore for over a decade), loved Tenchu and Tony Hawks on PS1 but would consider they more or less dead IPs at this moment.

With this I think I keep my current perception that at least for me individually I won`t lose much if MS decided to go full exclusivity to MS platforms going forward.
