Microsoft is fighting it.
It being blocked from a Cloud perspective due to the ability to put CoD, Overwatch, WoW, etc. Onto xCloud makes me convinced that Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed/Far Cry) would be blocked for the same reasons. 50/50 on CD Projekt Red and Sega as they both have very big IPs as well, although Sega more for PC.
Think I'd rather they dropped the deal but I understand why they won't. If they continue to acquire smaller independent developers in the meantime then I'd neither care or have an opinion on them dropping the deal, it can just be worked on in the background and I'd be fine with that.
I just don't think they should let certain studios get away from them, I also think they need to bulk up their support network, the majority of XGS and Bethesda big guns have yet to release so it remains to be seen how that helps, moneyhatting would be a dangerous move but if the deal is ultimately blocked then I'd say go for it, since that is deemed totally fine, however there's no way they would put the money down for CoD.
