So happy this acquisition finally closed, it was such a long road to get here. Looking forward to playing some of the CoD campaigns I missed once they start hitting Gamepass, as well as a few other Activision-Blizzard games.
While I doubt Xbox will make a move on any further acquisitions for awhile to avoid ruffling feathers so soon after an acquisition this difficult, these are my most wanted acquisition targets now:
-Sega: Not only are they perfect for Xbox with both western PC and JP games, which Xbox themselves determined (leaked out in the court docs), but they could really use the bailout in the wake of the Hyenas cancellation causing a record loss quarter for them
-Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal: Acquired from Embracer Group in the wake of their recent financial woes due to Suadi Arabia backing out of a needed investment deal with them.
-CD Projekt and/or Larian: To continue Xbox's WRPG domination, and save them from possible acquisition by Sony to compete in the WRPG space
-A good independent JP studio such as Platinum, CyberConnect2, or Level-5: Xbox always needs mire JP studios
-Any of the remaining good independent AAA western studios aside from the aforementioned CDP and Larian (such as Techland, IO Interactive, or Crytek): More AAA studios can only help improve Gamepass
