Journalist Richard Lewis har for nylig fremført den påstand på Twitch, at Activision Blizzard angiveligvis har tilbudt Overwatch League-investorer pladser i den kommende Call of Duty League som incitament til at blive en del af virksomhedens eSportssatsning. Disse pladser kan som regel koste millioner af dollars, så det er lidt af en ekstra gulerod.
"[Activision] were offering - back when they were struggling to get VC groups to invest in the Overwatch Leagues - they were offering franchises in a Call of Duty league that didn't even exist yet as extra leverage. "What they want to do for the Call of Duty league, they've said they're looking at the 'entertainment consortiums. It's interesting actually, there's a lot of sports stars that are trying to get in, I heard Floyd Mayweather's got a consortium going around"
Activision Blizzard har endnu ikke kommenteret på dette, men skulle det være rigtigt, tror du så på at store nok virksomheder vil være med?
