“That’s right Sony, any new releases of a game called Call of Duty will be on your console”
Microsoft releases Summoned for War
That's literally all it is. FTC couldn't get the job done, Sony is signing the deal they know is worthless because ultimately they have no other option.
This is for show. It's kind of gross, honestly.
Honestly have no empathy for Sony. They have tons of console exclusives. Kinda the only reason to entertain owning a PlayStation is because of them. There is no monopoly formed. That would indicate zero competition in the space.
I don’t see why people thought the US was going to stop this from happening. We’re very pro business, and won’t get in the way of a merger like this unless it creates a monopoly. And there’s so many companies that make games now that this simply wouldn’t happen. Microsoft buying CoD, WoW and Candy Crush makes them bigger, but not an unstoppable juggernaut.
what does that mean?
Federal Trade Commission.
