澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft is signing partnerships with just about anyone who'll take them in its attempt to push the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Activision deal over the line, and people are starting t📖o take note.

Yesterday, Xbox boss Phil Spencer announced Xbox's fourth 10-year deal in as many weeks. This time it was Ubitus, a company best known for its work on the Nintendo Switch's cloud-based ports, that got 10 years of access to "Xbox PC games as well as Activision Blizzard titles after the acquisition closes." That news came just a day after a very similar deal with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ukrainian cloud service Boosteroid, and only weeks after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:partnerships with 🌄Nintendo and Nvidia.

Some of those names are significantly bigger than others, and Microsoft is now getting clowned on as social media users invent all manner of fake partnershi🅘ps with obscure and outdated tech. A couple of posts 🐻(one boasting Spencer's seal of approval) describe a deal with Texas Instruments, promising to "bring Call of Duty to a calculator near you."

One post confirms a deal with Tamagotchi, while others are bringing Call of Duty to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:infamous chicken-warming KFC console and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SouljaBoy's bizarre consoles. 

Others are taking an even more mocking stance, coming up with partner🐻ships for fledgling platforms that don't really exist, but are simultaneously "definitely real and used by actual people." 

While Microsoft's taking a bit of a beating, this is unlikely to be the last we hear of its 10-year deals. A core aspect of its negotiations with Sony is using increased access to Call of Duty for players around the world as a counter to complaints that it'll keep the franchise away from PlayStation users as soon as it gets the chance, or that the acquisition would otherwise give it an unfair advantage, especially in cloud ♎gaming. 

While Microsoft's scattershot tactic is making it the butt of a few jokes, I think it's better than Sony's recent approach of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:accusations of potential sabotage, reportedly as part of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:strategy to block the merger at any cost.  

Ever-opposed to Microsoft's Activision acquisition, Sony claims 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield's exclusivity shows why Microsoft can't be trusted with Call of Duty.
