Microsoft low-key stumbled into Disney licensing success if Blade is also a hit, if you think about it, the last Blade was shit, it hasn't had a film in years and the next one is in development hell, Disney is probably happy to take whatever positive news they can get and so I don't imagine the Blade license will be expensive at all, but the actual game if it's any good will restore a lot of good will to the IP, that goodwill will also be directed towards Microsoft as a publisher for restoring a classic IP which is loved.
Likewise with Indiana Jones, The Great Circle is widely considered the best IJ since the original trilogy and even many saying it's just as strong as the original trilogy, the 4th IJ film was poorly received and the last one flopped commercially, Microsoft probably has the edge in negotiations and it's another IP which Microsoft owned studios are helping to elevate back to old heights.
Basically Xbox-owned studios are restoring faith people have in certain Disney IP, Lol. So Disney should be grateful to them and they're IPs with hardcore fanbases who will recognise the respect given to their IPs which generates goodwill for Xbox's Publishing and probably at like massively cheaper costs than the Spider-Man license so it likely will end up being a decently profitable venture for all but also has positives outside of just pure profits like good old fashioned positive PR which Disney needs lately.
I wonder what other dead/dying Disney IP they could take a shot at for cheap
