You know, cus I'm petty, and don't care about CoD anyway, I wish that once this deal is done...Phil just says "fuck it, no more CoD. Period." lol
Hell, you could let those teams make basically CoD, but moving forward, you just call it something else (the good ol' FromSoft approach to "new IP"). Maybe the first game you do would be down on sales compared to CoD, but their audience would catch on quick enough. Call of Combat. Whatever. Get fucked.
