爆料：动视暴雪曾与索尼达成协议，确保《使命召唤》数年内无法登陆XGP

今年1月，微软Xbox宣布斥资687亿美元收购游戏巨头动视暴雪。

《使命召唤》知名爆料人CharlieIntel今天透露，微软在提交给英国监管机构CMA的文件中确认，动视暴雪和索尼之间有一项协议，保证游戏在几年内不能登录XGP订阅服务。

The dispute between Sony and Microsoft before the CMA continues, with the British anti-trust authority called to formulate an opinion on the acquisition process of Activision Blizzard. At the center of the scene remains the series of Call of Dutywhose relevance on the videogame market is the protagonist of the latest reflections of Competition and Market Authority. While the CMA highlights the possible passage of users from PlayStation to Xbox linked to COD, the Redmond giant does not wait for its reply. By sending a substantial document to the institution, Microsoft he accuses the latter of paying more attention to Sony than to consumers. In addition, the company once again places the emphasis on the freedom of choice offered to its competitor. We thus learn that, “if Sony accepted the current offer Microsoft’s contractual agreement “, the Japanese giant could count on” access to Call of Duty up to at least 2027“. A time window that would extend the current guarantees contracts already signed by Activision Blizzardwhich – according to Microsoft – would still be enough on their own to give Sony the necessary time to “make sure it has a competitive portfolio capable of cope with a possible strategy of exclusivity” in Redmond. The CMA, Microsoft concludes, is not currently considering the possibilities Sony’s counter-moves to the acquisition. An approach negatively evaluated by Redmond, especially since the anti-trust authority has instead formulated several hypotheses on the possible “excessive” growth of Xbox Game Pass.
