There's a general rule that if a Microsoft brand has to make an announcement, it's because people are correctly detecting a trend...

The "we have no plans to retire X" announcement it's, annecdotaly, always about four years before they retire X.

So if my bullshit rule holds, we stop seeing cross platform support from games made by any studio owned by Microsoft in about four years.

It's almost like letting big companies swallow up each-other is bad for everyone except C suite executes.

Aren’t they on the hook for multi platform COD for the next decade? I recall that being a merger term but maybe it didn’t make it to the final draft

Yeah I think so, including nintendo. ~3 years after that deal happened we should begin seeing multiplatform releases
