Doesn't matter if they lost in court. My friend is a federal agent told me Microsoft was and is still being investigated for bribery.
In any case they legally couldn't buy every dev leaving Sony with nothing but exclusives without legal issues

I’m so glad you’re back.
Can’t wait until you hit the classic gaming board again.

Any Lawyers on this board btw? Or Businessmen? The responses I get when I try to discuss this topic remind me of that breakfast IQ meme
“IF MSFT bought AB without Regulatory scrutiny they’d probably make COD exclusive. FTC wouldn’t have let them do the merger if COD were exclusive.”
“but COD isn’t exclusive”
“IF they weren’t under the microscope they could get away with it. They’d take a short term hit to build their install base”
“but COD isn’t exclusive”
“But IF it were they’d sell more Xboxes and get a bigger cut of sales on their platform plus they’d get more gamepass subs”
“But COD isn’t exclusive. They could never give up the revenue of going multiplat”
Like this is exactly how that thread went. It’s hopeless.

Ik I just meant that the breakfast meme doesn’t work irl but if you make it slightly more complicated you lose them completely.
Like do NFL fans understand that having ridiculous penalties called on their team causes them to lose games or is that too much of a hypothetical? “If they didn’t call that penalty we’d have played in the Super Bowl.” Is that lost on them?
I also see it in threads about history, like a solid immovable 50% bloc always insists that like WWII wouldn’t have gone somewhat differently if the aircraft carriers were sitting at port on December 7th in Pearl Harbor. Or if Hitler realized that oil was essential in like 1934. They always INSIST that everything would end up The Same.

Making Call of Duty exclusive to a waning platform is commercial suicide.
—————————
it wasn’t waning in January 2022 when they first bid on Activision Blizzard do with all due respect you’re confusing the present, particularly after the deal closed/Starfield bombed/everything went multiplatform, with the Past. This is easy to do. A lot of people do it. Now how waning would Xbox be if it had COD exclusively iyo?
