The CMA, when they realize they may have made calculation mistakes once again and might have to redo the Addendum again:
Isn't that obvious from the wording.
The issue is COD. It's not Skyrim, fallout or any other IP.
bro the cma has the absolute worst economists working for them

Equating Redfall to COD as if they are in any way comparablegetting good
The response also leaps upon last month's drama which erupted from comments made by creative director Harvey Smith, who revealed that Microsoft had canned plans for a PlayStation 5 version of Redfall after buying Bethesda. These comments, Sony has now said, were an indication of how Microsoft could also treat Call of Duty, if and when the deal goes through.
"Just last week, two days before the Addendum was published, on 22nd March, video game trade publication IGN published fresh evidence in the form of an interview with Redfall's creative director, Harvey Smith, that provides additional insight into Microsoft's strategy," Sony wrote.
"Like Call of Duty, Redfall is a first-person shooter game that features both single player and cooperative multiplayer modes. In his interview with IGN, Mr. Smith explained that Redfall was originally planned to be released on all platforms, including PlayStation, but once Microsoft acquired Bethesda, there was a 'huge sea change ... [Microsoft] said, "No PlayStation 5. Now we're gonna do Game Pass, Xbox, and PC".'"
Sony Cites Redfall’s Harvey Smith After Cancellation of PS5 Version in Its Response to the CMA
Sony and Microsoft have responded to the CMA's revised findings with Sony citing Redfall's Harvey Smith about the cancelled PS5 version.
Its more like going all in by stating if they don't get the superior version of COD it will end playstation.
they are proving foreclosure not equating anythingEquating Redfall to COD as if they are in any way comparable
It definitely shows a pattern of behavior of buying a publisher and then making their games exclusive, something MS is now swearing they have no incentive to do.Equating Redfall to COD as if they are in any way comparable
The longer this goes on the lower the threshold of "evidence" for their claims will become.
Sony citing DF, VGTech and gaming forums.
Was that argument incorrect?
A pattern redfall might sell 2 million on Playstation with zero mtx. That is in another universe from 10 million plus copies plus mtx for losses. Losing 50 million from playstation users and losing 2 billion is not apples to apples. Minecraft would be and its still on Playstation.
Redfall is not even in the same stratosphere as COD. Equating them because they are both FPSs is laughable. COD is different because of how huge it is. COD is bigger than all Bethesda games combined. They would lose Billions taking it from PS and the IP would quickly lose relevance. The argument just doesn't make sense.
They're equating them because they're both games. The argument is fine.
Didn't they say something similar when they bought Bethesda's parent company?

CoD isn't the same as Bethesda.
And Bethesda games don't?
They don't have mtx.
Nah Sony intentionally tries to be disingenuous by acting like the comparison holds more weight as both are FPSs:
I just want to have some fun now re: this deal
It's not their job to care if Sony recovers. They are to protect consumers, not companies.
Same here.
He's lying.
Sony citing DF, VGTech and gaming forums.
Even you don't believe this
The point is that MS's decision to make Redfall exclusive was already known by the CMA and published in previous writings.... The surprising thing here is that Sony argues something already considered by the CMA and that only reflects despair.
*cough Fallout 76*
Redfall is a new IP COD is an existing IP. Phil always said that weren't taking existing games away. He also consistently stated decisions about exclusivity would be on a case by case basis.
And yet Elder Scrolls 6 isn't coming to PlayStation.
Isn't that on PlayStation even after the acquisition with new content?
Case by case basis. Plus it was never announced for PlayStation nor would it be the first Elder Scrolls game to not hit PlayStation.
Case by case basis. MS never promised any all future Bethesda games would be on PlayStation. Not every game is promised to every platform as Xbox gamers are reminded of regularly.
Your comment is pure gobbledygook.

yeah, and 76 will stay multiplat as well as elder scrolls online because they do have microtransactions.
I don't believe that Microsoft buying a publisher and making their games exclusive is proof that Microsoft might buy a publisher and make their games exclusive? I swear I really do. It's true that there are important differences between COD and Redfall and other reasons why MS would withhold one and not the other, but the argument seems pretty straightforward to me.
There's no strategy left. They chose that path and double down on it.
That's where case by case comes in. Elder Scrolls 5 was originally released 12 years ago. Doubt there isn't much of an existing community. Minecraft and COD are obviously different. I also believe that Activision's catalog of IPs that Microsoft may bring back that were released on other platforms in the past will be xbox/pc exclusive in the future, because of their statement about existing communities.
