Well the biggest game franchise in the world is now going to be Xbox/pc exclusive. Sony could be dead in the water.
As for starcraft…I don’t know. Microsoft seems to be wanting to put more in its PC space, but that’s usually things that are cross-platform for Xbox. Starcraft seems like a prime candidate to get lost in the shuffle. Arguably it was already though. I’d wish they’d sell it to help cover that 80 billion they just shelled out, but Warcraft being a huge driver of that 80 billion and SC’s ties to that, that seems highly unlikely.

How cross-platform is the new Age of Empire exactly?

Starcraft is something MS is VERY likely to reinvest in for the sake of diversity of titles on Game Pass.

Blizzard is but a shadow of it’s former glory at this point.
Maybe a shake-up of this magnitude will help.
Not to mention this is probably the only thing that can help bring Starcraft to life again in the upcoming years.
Also, fuck Bobby.
