Demonware

Demonware is a company specializing in network infrastructure and online multiplayer services. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft through the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Demonware provides backend support for franchises like Call of Duty, including services such as matchmaking, account management, and cloud infrastructure.

As part of Activision Blizzard under Microsoft ownership, Demonware contributes to Microsoft Gaming's revenue streams. This makes Demonware subject to BDS boycott campaigns targeting Microsoft due to the parent company’s military contracts and technological support for Israeli operations.
