索尼:微软可以通过《使命召唤》的独占性来作弊

英国监管机构(CMA)公布了索尼今年2月的一份文件，该公司在文件中表达了对潜在竞争对手交易的担忧。与公开声明一样，索尼在这份文件中最大的担忧是《使命召唤》系列。

在文件中，索尼的代表指出，微软声称在与动视暴雪的交易结束后，《使命召唤》将不再是独家游戏的说法可能是错误的。根据他们的说法，在收购Zenimax (Bethesda)时，微软团队向欧洲监管机构表示，它“没有理由停止或限制Zenimax游戏在竞争对手主机上的可用性”。然而，根据索尼的说法，《星空》已经成为Xbox和PC游戏。值得一提的是，Bethesda团队在宣布《星空》时并没有表示他们打算在Playstation上发行这款游戏，也就是说，这款游戏从未正式计划面向索尼主机。

之前，微软与任天堂签署了一份为期10年的《使命召唤》发行合同，他们向索尼提供了同样的合同，但Playstation平台拒绝了该协议。

Regulators continue to review a potential deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard. The British regulator (CMA) published a Sony document from February this year, in which the company expresses its concerns about a possible competitor’s deal. As in public statements, Sony’s biggest concern in the document is the Call of Duty franchise. In the document, Sony representatives note that Microsoft’s claims that Call of Duty will not be exclusive after the deal with Activision Blizzard closes may be false. According to them, when buying Zenimax (Bethesda), the Microsoft team indicated to the European regulator that it “would have no reason to stop or limit the availability of ZeniMax games for purchase on competing consoles.” However, according to Sony, Starfield has become an Xbox Series X exclusive | S and PC. It is worth saying that the Bethesda team did not claim at the announcement of Starfield that they planned to release the game on the Playstation, that is, the game was never formally planned for Sony consoles. Recall that Microsoft has signed a 10-year contract with Nintendo to release Call of Duty, it offers the same contract to Sony, but the Playstation platform holder refuses the agreement.
