So far Microsoft hasn't offered any sort of concessions for subscription services despite Sony's complaining, it's not the regulators who come up with the concessions either, it's the party who is being investigated who has to offer them and regulators decide if they're good enough, IIRC. Which either suggests Microsoft simply doesn't want to or they don't think the regulators care much about that. It definitely won't be done for free if it comes down to it, I actually think Microsoft should consider it if it's a major complaint of CMA, but only if it has a price tag attached to it, Microsoft should simply say that if Sony wants CoD in PS+ then they have to pay what it's worth, which if day one like Game Pass would cost hundreds of millions, something that I don't believe Sony would do for a second, in essence, call Sony's bluff. The only way Sony would get it, Imo, is if it came years later and by then, the effects would be irrelevant versus the effects of having CoD in Game Pass on day one and if regulators don't trust Microsoft then they could simply get an independent third party to set the price and terms, maybe ask the thoughts of another gaming publisher, Lol. |
Yeah, Sony would have to pay for it. I'm sure regulators aren't expecting that to be some kind of free handout to Sony? Lol, just like CoD being on PS in general is still going to have Sony paying MS. Good point with the bolded part as well, could be another point that shows regulators sony isn't serious about subscription gaming. (not even counting where they don't put their 1st party games into the service day one).
