Impressive numbers.

And a good indication of things to come if/when the deal closes.
Long tail economics: good games remain good indefinitely. And they're as good as new for those that haven't played them.
(Think: SKYRIM.)

Yet another example of how poorly managed ABK has been in its obsessive pursuit of annual COD releases. They've been leaving good money on the table and that's not something MS does often.

Anybody want to bet *against* low cost updated bundles for COD: Modern Warfare and COD: BLACK OPS? To be added to GamePass Core?

Two other easy guesses: ID gets HEXEN and RARE gets CRASH and SPYRO.

2026 is going to be very interesting.
