It suggested the simplest way to ensure there isn’t a significant lessening of competition would be to block the deal entirely or implement a partial divestiture of Activision Blizzard that would see parts of the business like Call of Duty sold off and removed from the equation.offer to make Call of Duty available on other platforms
In its newly published response to these findings, Sony said Microsoft’s bid to acquire Activision should be blocked or subject to structural remedies if it’s to be approved. It argued: “If Microsoft failed to comply with its commitment, it would likely only risk paying a fine . But rivals’ access to Call of Duty would be immediately foreclosed, irreparably damaging their ability to compete and ultimately harming consumers.”
“Swiftly detecting any diversions from, and ensuring compliance with, a commitment as to technical or graphical quality would be challenging,” it said. “For example, Microsoft might release a PlayStation version of Call of Duty where bugs and errors emerge only on the game’s final level or after later updates.
I guess if they petty
block the deal. make microsoft compete. microsoft should not be allowed to pay $69 billion to buy anything. we dont want microsoft controlling how much developers get paid, which games get made.... its all wrong netflix is not good for the film industry.
This is just getting low now 😂 if I'm honest Microsoft are definitely gonna dominate if Sony have to make excuses like this.
Yeah just like Colisto Protocol on Xbox
Sony just sound so desperate and petty.
Utter bollocks haha
So it’s just call of duty then
I mean Xbox did do it to there own console with the Xbox one.
Like that doesnt happen already smh
How Sony desperately tries to come up with excuses
Sony is worried Microsoft will pull a Sony on them.
I believe it
Sony actually giving Microsoft ideas
Sony only says this because they themselves do this to Microsoft.
That 100% projecting.
I wonder why they think that?,hmm...its like Sony knows how is to do that,also Psychonauts2 ps5 version
Sony is crying hard
Sony is so paranoid its cute PlayStation
Is there not bugs in Call of Duty atm? Serious question? I did not buy it this year though I played all the originals and alpha tested COD4: MW1.
Now they are just messing with another company's reputation.
you see them fps running on xbox , they have a ponit
Sony is the most hypocritical company out there😂
CoachOttenbreit baron ged gonna lose now.
Kind of grasping at straws but ok
I can’t believe Sony is really throwing out these stupid arguments. call of duty has been buggy and broken since 2017. I can’t believe they’re really using that argument. 😂😂😂
What you got to say about this games media
lmao what is this paranoid nonsense
Sony rn
Yeah Activision needs no motivation to release buggy shit. Welcome to the last 2 COD games. Bugged for all.
I don't know which is the stupidest the starfield over reactions or the fact that Sony would say something this stupid shows how desperate they are
So Sony confirm that the rumours were true. Sony in its contracts requires parity and in other cases, that the Xbox version be worse.
Yes
What Jim Ryan says is out of control. The world needs to ignore Jim Ryan.
They didn’t sabotage Deathloop or Ghostwire so why TF would they sabotage the big money-maker?
Sony has now reached an all time low, a new low for them!
nah at this point sony’s just grasping at straws just so the deal doesn’t go through
Bro what
If only Sony got to check all releases ahead of time and mandate that bad bugs get fixed or the game couldn't be released.
COD is not like it was before, I would prefer Sony to come back with Resistance, it has story, cooperative and multiplayer mode.
So you mean Xbox and Playstation versions would be identical then, right?
Wow, they're absolutely scraping the barrel with this one 😂
My God, how childish can Sony be They may as well go tell their mothers that they've stolen their lunch money too.
Weird, sounds like they are well aware of these practices, even a bit too well 🤨
holy shit c'mon Sony stop acting like a 10 year old
Because people play playstation more then xbox. Xbox is a casual console playstation is a hardcore console
Lmao why is Sony so salty all of a sudden? Getting scared about that deal huh I know it hurts but all this salt can fill an entire lake they gotta cool it with the hot takes 🤣🤣🤣
Sony is funny now ...
I don’t think that’s what they should be worrying about. Cuz if this does go through, then they’ll be the only platform to not have COD, right? Nintendo and Valve already signed those deals, and Sony didn’t/hasn’t yet (If I’m remembering correctly).
This is pretty paranoid of Sony. A much more realistic scenario is that future Call Of Duty won't receive native graphic updates just like Minecraft for PS5.
Sony: please anything, were desperate
Ok, who’s idea to release buggy versions of call of duty, cause that’s just 💀
stop dragging yourself so much Sony you already lost your dignity but now you're losing coherence, stop being so ridiculous hermenhulst
They didn’t do that with Minecraft so why would they with cod? Sounds like Sony speaks from experience. Sony is getting more and more desperate. Truly sad to see the market leader act this way.
This sounds like a statement from lawyers grasping at straws who doesn't really understand games. And I don't think the merger should go through TBH.
Wtf 😅
It’s getting kinda pathetic now…
I'm as big a pony as there is, but why would Microsoft go against their own interests to do that, Sony?
this sounds really fking petty and childish at this point
Sony PC ports have entered the chat.
Every Call of Duty game since BO4 has been a 'buggy version'
So Sony is just crying now. What if they do this
Lmao they throwing whatever shit they can at the wall to see what sticks
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
That’s a fact
