Can't help but feel like at the root of it, ultimately what Sony is arguing for is to keep things worse 🤷♀️.
- Keep Kotick and the ELT.
- Keep all studios working on CoD forever.
- Keep Starcraft dead.
- Keep CoD off Switch, Xbox Game Pass.
Just so Sony can keep CoD marketing?
Sony's requirements to allow MS to acquire Activision:
For CoD for Xbox:
- No extra content that is not available on PlayStation.
- No hardware enhancements better than PlayStation.
- No Xbox Game Pass benefits.
Microsoft has launched its own Activision Blizzard acquisition website. It argues its side of the deal, just as Sony has been lobbying European regulators https://t.co/S5LgqG9BzF
