What does deleting an Activision account do?
Deleting an Activision account is a permanent process that removes all personal information associated with the account, including progress and content, and this process cannot be reversed. Once an Activision account is deleted, all associated game data, purchases, and progress will be lost, and users will have to start from scratch if they decide to create a new account.
