The FTC have just announced they have approved Microsofts acquisition of Activision/Blizzard with The UK's CMA now saying they are ready to renegotiate the deal after originally blocking the deal

Great news.

Bad news. I don't see the benefit for the end user here.

The console market is going to get fragmented because of this. The fragmentation will continue as well when Sony retaliate with some acquisitions of their own.
 
See EA have erling as the cover guy on their new “fifa”, EA make some very good sports games, I love the pga golf, sadly their attempts at a decent football game died about 20 yrs ago, a mix of fifa & pes could’ve made football perfection, ah well roll on Fri aug 11th :)

Doubt it. Warcraft is technically free to play but you have to pay a monthly subscription. Microsoft won't change that. You'll maybe get some in game items free but the biggest franchise is definitely Call Of Duty.

They will definitely be on game pass with Crash, Spryo, Tony Hawk's, Overwatch.

Also they have now got a massive foothold in the mobile gaming market as they will only King famous for Candy Crush
Don’t know about that mate, maybe incorporating it into Gamepass will encourage more people to use warcraft, also there have been demos of using a controller in game, so porting to Xbox is possible.

It is possible that game pass members would get free subscriptions on pc as memberships have been declining.

Think porting WOW to console would be a huge task although it could be done just like ESO.

I've played WOW with a controller. It was easy to setup( I used the Cursed Forge website) took a bit of time to get used to it but after a couple of hours it became really intuitive
