You seemingly don't understand how an acquisition works
They control Activision now. No grey area. Just like Microsoft controlled to show full screen ads to Xbox users.
That's not how it works when major companies buy one another, it generally takes years for integration efforts wherein prior leadership and plans remain mostly unchanged for more then half that time.
So who is responsible for the fullscreen CoD ad on Xbox then if not Microsoft? Seriously, you're delusional if you think that Microsoft higher ups have no power to order the Activision leadership around.
Ah, the arrogance of not knowing what you don't know. Except people are telling you that you are lacking knowledge of mergers, and you're still demanding that you're right. So now it's willful ignorance.
Absolutely nobody countered the argument of the fullscreen CoD ad on Xbox. Nobody except Microsoft proper greenlit that.
Ok!
Microsoft can advertise for their new properties. That doesn’t require any high level coordination between company leadership.
Anything game development wise is pretty much certainly not had any impact from Microsoft at all. MS is a very slow moving company, and corporate acquisitions aren’t an overnight deal. It can take years to transition old leadership out and implement new plans.
