Maybe more if it goes to court, sounds like FTC may sue to block, it's absolutely ridiculous, politically motivated arguments which boil down to "big tech bad" and other regulators too interested in protecting Sony.

Sony immediately shut down the other offer but no comment on the 10-year contract, I think it's safe to say what I said earlier, Sony won't accept any offer, they want to block the deal full stop, it's not just about CoD *potentially* going exclusive but Microsoft having marketing for CoD and CoD in Game Pass.

All this shit makes me want it to pass even more than before despite barely caring about ABK aside from improving workplace conditions and booting Bobby out.

That's the only outcome Sony wants. There is no negotiation that can be done here. MS should just ignore any public complaints from Sony and focus solely on what government agencies are concerned about.

MS, as great as it's been with their rhetorical responses, have been a bit too reactive to what Sony publicly criticizes the deal on. 

I think it's because some regulators like CMA are overly concerned about Sony, so Microsoft has to please them since Sony is the only one complaining to regulators. But how long will regulators sit around and take Sony's whining? At some point they'll have to say "yes, this is good enough, either accept it or don't, Sony" or at least, they should, who knows at this point.
