This is probably why.

So it's Sony's fault the game is terrible, then.

Nah, the CMA didn't care about Sony's concerns, Lol. It's the UKs fault the deals closure was delayed.

Ultimately it worked out for the best for Xbox that Activision decided to turn what became CoD MW3 from a DLC into a main game. Because Sony had one final game on their marketing contract, and MW3 became that game, next year's CoD from Treyarch (or 2025's CoD if Phil does decide to do away with Yearly CoD releases like he talked about possibly doing) can be both day one Gamepass and have Xbox marketing and bundles. If what became MW3 had stayed a DLC for MW2, Sony would have had marketing on the next Treyarch CoD and Xbox couldn't have made it day one Gamepass.

Sucks for the fans who were looking forward to MW3 though. Hopefully Xbox decides to keep Sledgehammer on it for a good long time to fix it, if Phil does do away with yearly releases they really don't need Sledgehammer working on their next CoD game anytime soon, their next slot in the CoD studio rotation would be 6 years from now in that case, so it certainly couldn't hurt to leave Sledgehammer on MW3 for the next year or so, patching it and giving it DLC (including hopefully maps from the original MW3 from 2011) to turn it into an acceptable game that can properly hold people over until Treyarch's next CoD.

FWIW These reviews are for the Campaign only and I'm seeing quite a bit of praise for the Multiplayer but it's not worth putting the developers through this shitty development over and over again, they'll eventually leave Activision for somewhere else.
