The never-ending saga that is the Microsoft-Activision deal took a new turn when reports that the United States’ Federal Trade Commission is planning to file an antitrust lawsuit against the deal became known. This could potentially delay a decision on the acquisition for several years.
Meanwhile, the Competition and Markets Authority published redacted documents from Microsoft and Sony, laying out its arguments for and against the acquisition, respectively.
Key to Sony’s argument against the deal is giving control of Call of Duty to Microsoft. Leaning on the CMA’s concerns about Microsoft’s leading role in gaming subscription services, Sony argues that placing Call of Duty on Xbox Game Pass would be hugely detrimental to PlayStation.
