| Ryuu96 said: So. CoD is Minecraft. There is no contract to release any Minecraft title on PlayStation, there is no contract for Minecraft. The deal is more about ABK's mobile efforts, King makes more than Activision & Blizzard and that doesn't even include CoD Mobile & Diablo Mobile. Signing a contract that says "Forever" is stupid and nobody does that. Streaming stick was cancelled because they couldn't get the price down far enough, Phil wants it around $99-$129 including controller. |
Do not worry, Sony is not going to ask for forever but 25 years or something like that probably would not be out of the question. Basically long enough to not matter. Also the promise of one man well it means nothing. Phil could get fired, get caught in the sex scandal with Sarah Bond, quite and form his own company who names it. A new head of Xbox would not be beholden to whatever Phil made commitments to.
The funny part is, would Sony accept at this time a contract with MS or are they willing to ignore anything from MS until the CMA makes a decision. It could be that the CMA accept the situation like Brazil and Sony gets no guaranteed agreement from MS or any conditions from the CMA which would be funny in itself.
Actually the balls in Sony court to get things in writing now or risk actually getting nothing. Maybe they are holding out hope that the CMA will just reject the deal which in that case they win. Should be fun to see how this all shakes out.
