In discussing some of the intellectual properties owned by Activision Blizzard, Spencer’s excitement may have mirrored the enthusiasm of a “StarCraft” player noticing the long-dormant franchise’s logo in Microsoft’s acquisition announcement.
“I was looking at the IP list, I mean, let’s go!” Spencer said. “‘King’s Quest,’ ‘Guitar Hero.’ … I should know this but I think they got ‘HeXen.’”
“HeXen,” indeed an Activision Blizzard property, is a cult hit first-person game about using magic spells. Microsoft’s pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard also means owning the rights to many creations from gaming’s past, including Crash Bandicoot, the original Sony PlayStation mascot. There’s also the influential and popular Tony Hawk skateboard series, and beloved characters like Spyro the Dragon. Spencer said he’s concerned about tech companies unfamiliar with the gaming industry barging in to the space, as opposed to the current, experienced competition against Nintendo and Sony. Philip Spencer has now confirmed that Call of Duty will come to PlayStation consoles for a few more years at least.
“They have a long history in video games,” he said. “Nintendo’s not going to do anything that damages gaming in the long run because that’s the business they’re in. Sony is the same and I trust them. … Valve’s the same way. When we look at the other big tech competitors for Microsoft: Google has search and Chrome, Amazon has shopping, Facebook has social, all these large-scale consumer businesses. … The discussion we’ve had internally, where those things are important to those other tech companies for how many consumers they reach, gaming can be that for us.” In this video DreamcastGuy reacts to this new article and interview in the Washington Post all about the hazards and harms of the new Activision Blizzard deal now that Microsoft and Team xbox have such a huge part of the gaming world in their grasp. Does this mean that Sony will have to buy more studies to help the PS4 Pro and PS5 or that Nintendo needs to push more Nintendo Switch games out? Only time will tell.
