It's not that simple though since it would've needed a big delay to make a significant difference and there's gonna be a COD coming out this year and they're not gonna release two close together. The one coming this year is supposed to have four years of development which is a series first so sacrificing the 2023 one to keep things in order for this year for the one that actually matters makes sense I think. 2025-2026 should be when the impact of the acquisition starts being felt.

In terms of logistics I agree with you, but just because the logistics work better to release it in 2023 doesn't mean it was right in terms of principle. All I was saying is that, his point is TECHNICALLY still valid. MS launched one of the worst rated COD game under their ownership and technically had the ability to stop it, but they didn't

It still feels strange to point out since the blame pretty much entirely lies with Activision Blizzard for how MWIII turned out but fair enough I suppose. The series better get a year off soon since it desperately needs it.
