kewl. now we'll get to revisit all of this in 5-10 years when MS begins to crawfish on some of the "promises" they made.


another thing:

activision: "we don't want CoD games to be Day 1 Game Pass releases."


guess what activision, you're not the one in charge anymore.


CoD goes to Game Pass Day 1
Handful of PS owners move to Xbox for "free CoD" via Game Pass
Sony gets fricked with $70 CoD
MS monopoly continues


never forget:

Microsoft: "we can spend them out of business."

I thought CoD was shite and this wouldn't matter since Sony has far better exclusives

Your quote is misattributed. Phil Spencer stated under oath that Microsoft will keep CoD on PS as long as Sony is willing. The FTC actually tried to claim Microsoft did this with Minecraft, and that actually made their entire arguments fall apart because it turned out that Sony wasn't willing to send Mojang a PS5 dev kit and that's why there's no native PS5 Minecraft. LINK

So the more likely scenario here will be that Sony does the same with Activision and therefore Activision can't make games for the PS6. By all means, though, keep pretending Microsoft is the problem.

Maybe Sony should have realized they were poking a sleeping giant and played nice.

ETA: Just to drive the point home, from the Judge's ruling:
