Playstation-chefen Jim Ryan har flera gånger träffat olika lagstiftare och motsatt sig Microsofts köp av Activision Blizzard, och han träffade EU-representanten Magrethe Vestager förra veckan för att prata om saken. Men Microsoft anser att Ryan kör med fula trick och vilseleder EU:s lagstiftare genom att särskilt fokusera på Call of Duty-serien.
I en rad meddelanden på Twitter (via VGC) har Microsofts kommunikationschef Frank X. Shaw gett sin syn på saken och tycker Sony agerar direkt ohederligt:
"I hear Sony is briefing people in Brussels claiming Microsoft is unwilling to offer them parity for Call of Duty if we acquire Activision. Nothing could be further from the truth. We've been clear we've offered Sony a 10 year deal to give them parity on timing, content, features, quality, playability, and any other aspect of the game. We've also said we're happy to make this enforceable through a contract, regulatory agreements, or other means. Sony is the console market leader and it would defy business logic for us to exclude PlayStation gamers from the Call of Duty ecosystem. Our goal is to bring Call of Duty and other games - as we did with Minecraft - to more people around the world so they can play them where and how they want."
Om just Call of Duty är Sonys främsta stötesten borde det med andra ord vara löst nu, eller vad säger du?
