According to the CMA, Microsoft's cloud streaming agreements meant it still got to keep all the in-game purchases.

So you play Call of Duty on PS Plus, but all the battle pass payments go to Microsoft (platforms currently tend to keep 30%) pic.twitter.com/5HmLqcx7N3

Sony says the Activision deal would be bad for gamers because it would be the end of PlayStation studio blockbusters pic.twitter.com/rPX0rH9ZVI

1.) Kind of a weird point to bring up. Casual markets don't seem to be interested in the same titles that others are.

2.) This seems like a bizarrely bad deal. Of course anyone would still take them up on that offer, because they can keep people attached to their platform, but a bizarrely bad deal.  

3.) I think Sony is exaggerating massively. It would be a hit for sure, but I am pretty sure Sony's blockbusters would be fine...
