According to this article, Microsoft has agreed to sign a legally binding agreement with the FTC.
"Microsoft has said the deal would benefit gamers and gaming companies alike, and offered to sign a legally binding consent decree with the FTC to provide Call of Duty games to rivals including Sony for a decade."
Now for the future, that I couldn't tell you what Microsoft would do, but I believe the Microsoft of today is all about bringing these types of services and games to all. I think if they were to end support and only keep call of duty exclusive to Xbox it would actually do more harm to them than good.
That is good news. Thanks for clarifying (and for deservedly shaming me for not reading the article, haha).
Haha no worries! To be fair, my quote is from a different article.
