Among the information that is spreading due to the trial on the blocking of the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft is the renegotiation with Disney of the next game of Indiana Jones as a game that will not be available on PlayStation. But there are also documents and communications between Sony and Microsoft executives about the purchase that are quite interesting. For example, that Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, was not concerned that Call of Duty It will no longer be available for your PlayStation.
Ryan assured in an email that after speaking with Phil Spencer (Microsoft) and Bobby Kotick (Activision), he was sure that Call of Duty it would be present on PlayStation for many more years. It is a position contrary to the one that Sony has maintained facing the public since the acquisition of Activision Blizzard was announced, ensuring that Microsoft could withdraw the game from PlayStation, leaving its players without access to one of the star franchises of the world of video games. video game. Meanwhile, Microsoft has ensured that as long as there is a PlayStation, Call of Duty it will keep pitching for them.
Another of Activision Blizzard’s buying hot spots is cloud gaming. On this, internal Microsoft documents would ensure that it is not something that is going to have a significant market share in the near future. Microsoft mentions latency and stuttering issues in games as these are issues outside of cloud gaming services.
Despite years of investment in this field, the hours of play dedicated to this “only represents a tiny fraction of the billions of hours of play annually” on Xbox, and “it has never achieved enough demand to stop being a niche small market,” according to Microsoft documents that the company’s lawyers have used to unlock the Activision Blizzard purchase.
