Sony has issued a fresh response to the ongoing drama surrounding Microsoft's $68.7bn Activision Blizzard acquisition, …

Newscast: Are Unreal Engine's procedural generation and Ubisoft's Ghostwriter the future of game development?

Smith's comments revealed"compelling evidence of Microsoft’s ability and incentives to foreclose rivals to acquired games, together with its likely conduct post-transaction with respect to Call of Duty," Sony argued.to these comments was that it had not"pulled any games from PlayStation" and that it had in fact"expanded our footprint of games" after releasing PS5 exclusives Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo on Xbox.

Ultimately, Sony concludes that the CMA has understated Microsoft's gains from the deal - as well as the gains to be made from having Call of Duty in Game Pass. In another section of its response, Sony takes aim at Microsoft's example of Minecraft as a game it has continued to support on all platforms after snapping it up.

Sony are the whiniest crybabies I've ever seen

Make sure to mention the CMA said they alreafy knew about Redfall and that Zenimax was purchased to make exclusives for Xbox.

There's no drama.

If I was MS/B, I'd reply that 'we're bolstering some of our exclusive offerings after years of providing PlayStation with console exclusive titles, in honor of agreements made, even further adding those titles to bolster PS Plus in that time. They're simply never satisfied.' 🎤💥

Won’t work regulators already knew this awhile ago lol

CMA reaction to Sony “seizing” on exclusivity.

Y’all trying this again for clicks huh?

Imagine releasing a game made by your own studios only on your console. Who'd do that

Redfall has no MTX and it’s a new IP. Cod has tons of MTX and it sells everywhere. A huge difference.

There is no drama, you’re making a drama out of it.

Jeez SONY look'n real weak & desperate. We've been down this road: Starfield & REDFALL were in development & never officially announced for PS. MS bought ZeniMax, everything became property of MS. MS allowed Bethesda to honored their prior contracts. Stop beating this dead pony.

DF proving yet again it is a cancer.

What about ff7 remake when’s that coming to xbox

Hahahahaha I suppose they took MBG rant as a reliable source for such claim 🤣🤣

Project Eve literally showed the Xbox logo in its trailers until Sony paid for exclusivity, and that was a third party game! I’m sure none of the Sony fans claiming to be upset about Redfall are all that bothered by PS5 exclusives. Just buy both consoles if you care that much!

I wonder when Street fighter 5, Final fantasy 7 remake and Silent Hill 2 remake will release on Xbox?

Cat knocking over a vase: Look at the drama!

What drama😂😂

There is no drama 😂

COD is not like it was before, I would prefer Sony to come back with Resistance, it has story, cooperative and multiplayer mode.

SALLLTTTTTT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yea because Sony did such a good job at porting Last of Us to PC right ? they clearly care. And they don't have any console exclusive games from studios they own right ? Games that are exclusive to PS for 1 to 2 years and this is only in recent years.

PC gamers watching these silly console platforms argue

What about that, Sony?

Literally no drama. Don’t use flamboyant language that gives Sony’s claims the benefit of the doubt.
