Waiting for the rest of you stans to come out the closet :shaq:

I mean wasn't this already obvious months ago?
This is why Sony will likely never agree to any deal to let this merger happen. They'll probably just continue to make noise and try and get it to fail. Every year millions of people buy that game and spend effectively 7 months (60% of a year) of a base Game Pass subscription on it. If you can add a second game like say MLB The Show to that you're over a year's of Game Pass on just those two games. You're right they can't compete with the optics on that especially with cross platform multiplayer.

This isn't as much about Sony possibly losing CoD which seems unlikely as much as it's about them trying to protect the status quo that enshrines them as the overwhelming market leader and makes it very difficult for them to be toppled. CoD drastically changes the math on the worth of a service like Game Pass for a lot of people.

Even Microsoft owning CoD makes it into a bargaining chip and gives leverage.

Good. MS shouldn't be allowed to buy up publishers, let alone the largest in this industry. Regulators need to put a stop to this. They already consumed ZeniMax.
Why shouldn't they? If you have the money to buy something, it's available, and you purchasing it isn't going to cause any legal complications why shouldn't you be allowed to buy it?

The fact that Sony is worried that MS might put bugs in the game so that it runs worse on playstation tells you more about Sonys practices than it does MS
