After the participation of different personalities from the video game industry such as Jim Ryan, head of PlayStation and Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, this time the limelight has been stolen he Judge Corleywho is in charge of the dispute.
Corley seems to be tired of the whole thing or at least that seems to be interpreted according to the latest report from ‘The Verge‘, who are at the scene and shared an interesting dialogue between Corley and the FTC lawyers.
The judge questions that all this mess is “for a shooting game“, while the FTC’s lawyer says the main focus is Call of Duty, stating that his job is to make sure”protect competition in the market«.

Given this, Judge Corley said that the concern would be if people switch to an Xbox. However, those from the FTC counter-argued by saying that the damage is found when a player wakes up the day after the agreement between Activision and Microsoft was closed, finding himself surprised that «there will be a new character» in the Xbox version.
Subsequently, Judge Corley asks the FTC if it has anything to say to Jim Ryan, after the executive mentions that “there is nothing anti-competitive that Starfield is exclusive to Xbox» emphasizing that PlayStation does the same. The FTC only responded by saying they had no idea why Ryan was upset about the Activision Blizzard acquisition.
