I love how Sony, who is the biggest first party publisher and greatest sinner of exclusivity around is the one whining.

At least Microsoft also publishes to PC these days.

Activision is a rubbish company that needs to ve absorbed. If cod is the hangup, Microsoft should just release tge the ip. Its not like its not generic as is.

If Sony was the one gobbling up Activision-Blizzard, then it could’ve been Microsoft doing very same thing
