Earlier this month, the UK called for a more in-depth investigation into the acquisition of Activision Blizzard from Microsoft.
As you know, PlayStation he expressed his concerns about this huge deal and several antitrust bodies have decided to deepen the investigation.
Just yesterday it emerged that, after Sony’s words, Brussels has also decided to start a more in-depth examination of this agreement.
Now, the company has released new statements reported by Gamesindustry.biz. In this new “attack”, Sony emphasizes that it is in favor of the UK antitrust brake on the takeover.
“By giving Microsoft control of Activision games like Call of Duty, this deal would have major negative implications for gamers and the future of the industry.“.
“We want to ensure that PlayStation players continue to have the highest quality gaming experience and we appreciate the CMA’s focus on player protection“.
In fact, Sony is the only company in the industry trying to thwart this huge deal. The possibility of losing Call of Duty is a matter of great concern and, recently, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has also touched on this topic by defending “the offer to have COD for only three years is inadequate“.
