game news World of Warcraft: End of Subscriptions Soon? And it’s very serious
To justify its acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft makes very interesting promises to gamers: many of the publisher’s games would be playable anywhere in cloud gaming, including titles like World of Warcraft… which would also change its economic model a bit.
Promise
We know that the European Commission recently gave the go-ahead for Microsoft to take over Activision-Blizzard. It must be said that the latter did everything to seduce the organization: if the British CMA felt that the American giant’s place in cloud gaming was too dominant, The promises made by the Redmond-based company on this subject have visibly seduced the European Union.
And with good reason: Microsoft has presented a very interesting plan. If there is redemptionAll Activision Blizzard games sold on consoles and PC will be made available on partner cloud gaming platforms for ten years : We count the Xbox Game Pass, of course, but also Nvidia GeForce Now or Boosteroid.
One subscription for the other
So if you bought a game from the publisher – let’s say a Call of Duty or a Crash Bandicoot – You can therefore play it in streaming via the cloud gaming platforms mentioned above. This also works for free-to-play gaming services like Game Pass, which should include World of Warcraft if the acquisition goes through.
In this way, You no longer have to pay for your monthly subscription to Blizzard’s legendary MMO, of course, you can simply enjoy it through your cloud gaming subscriptionwhich should be a game changer for many players.
Cloud gaming platforms such as Nvidia GeForce Now, Boosteroid or Nware can count themselves lucky: It is a real stroke of luck not to have to pay for licenses so that its customers can benefit from such extensive titles within its service (we remind you, for ten years).
It was precisely these promises by Microsoft that convinced the European Commission to confirm the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. Acquisition, which must also require the consent of the other world states.
