    COD was the example you chose to highlight… It’s also pretty damn close to it, here.

    Activision: basically a COD factory only. COD has its own mobile version. Blizzard: Diablo, Overwatch, WoW. OW1+2 are on everything except mobile already. WoW doesn’t make sense to move beyond where it is. Diablo is on everything except Switch, and has its own mobile versions. Presumably the lack of a Switch release is a hardware issue, as D3 was on Switch.
    King: mobile exclusively.

    Other than COD on Switch, which again Kotick all but committed to, what new platforms can they bring their games to? I’m not seeing it.

      Maybe I needed to be more specific - by mobile I mean xCloud. They’ll be bringing the full console versions of those games to mobile devices via xCloud. I don’t care about COD mobile or Diablo mobile, but I’ll damn sure play MW2 or Diablo 4 via xCloud when I can’t play on my console.
