Nintendo will also get the same treatment.

Microsoft has kicked off what the New York Times is calling a "charm offensive" to help push through its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This is being done in an effort to get the United States government to approve its near $70 billion deal. Microsoft says that they will not give preferential treatment to its own games in its app stores.

Furthermore, Microsoft says that they pledge to continue to allow major Activision Blizzard franchises such as Call of Duty to be available on PlayStation beyond the current agreement in place with Sony. As it stood previously, Microsoft said that they would honor the existing agreements between Activision Blizzard and Sony to bring the next three Call of Duty titles to PlayStation. Beyond that was a mystery until today.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and president Brad Smith went on this so-called "offensive" today. The two say that they plan to meet with officials to discuss this deal. As it stands, the Federal Trade Commission will be taking a long, hard look at this acquisition given the size and scope of it. According to the NYT article, Microsoft may have tough battles with regulators in Britain and the European Union.

When it comes to Nintendo, Smith says that supporting the Switch is the "right thing for the industry."

There is no saying how long these sentiments will carrying on for though. There is also no saying that every new game developed by Activision Blizzard after they're a part of Microsoft will be multiplatform.
