On the Same Brain podcast of popular YouTubers iJustine and Jenna Ezarik, Spencer pointed out that the intent is to proceed in a very similar way that Microsoft has done with their handling of their acquisition of Mojang and Minecraft.
Spencer goes on to point out that not only has Microsoft not limited the access to Minecraft, overall, it has actually increased the availability of the game on more platforms. Minecraft now spans so many editions and platforms that the easiest way to describe its reach is to check out this availability matrix.
"Yeah we're not taking Call of Duty from PlayStation. That's not our intent, and as long as there is a PlayStation out there to ship to our intent is to continue to ship Call of Duty on PlayStation." Spencer said in the interview.
This statement hopefully quells some fears about the merger, especially when we consider how Bethesda is no longer planning on releasing Starfield for PlayStation 5 following Microsoft's acquisition of its parent company, Zenimax, in 2021. While that definitely was a sting to PlayStation owners, it's not necessarily as harsh of a sting as if Microsoft were to do something like that with a title that has 19 years of history like Call of Duty.
