This is fucking brutal, the lawyer just said PS doesn't include anything day in date on their sub service which is a matter of strategy so why would CoD be? While Microsoft does which is a matter of strategy and competition, and Jim agreed.
You can actually feel the desire jim has to jump out of the window to stop the deposition, the MS lawyer is absolutely brutalizing him. This is hilarious.
Jim was woefully unprepared or he's a double agent.
His whole deposition is benefiting Microsoft's arguments, Lmao.
You were asked whether MS was going to turn off the supply of games, and you replied:

"I honestly believe that will not happen."
"I meant that at the time," Ryan says.
Ryan said internally that Bungie could give Sony more than the $69B acquisition of ABK would give Microsoft.

Ryan at some point was "extremely confident" that CoD etc. would remain on their platform.

Something like 55 percent share of gen 9 consoles in the US, Ryan says.

He believes the stance MS is taking re. subscription services pricing is "evidence of, at best, partial foreclosure."
Jim's whole argument: “Microsoft honours their contracts. I don’t know if this will cause us harm, PS is a direct competitor to PC, I don't know what I said"
Ryan says as of the inteview (April this year) he had "significant concerns" as to the continued availability of CoD and other Activision titles for the PlayStation.

Ryan ultimately (though he tried to avoid it) had to acknowledge that first-party titles accounted during a certain period for 15% of SIE's profits.

Sony publishing games on a rival platform?!?!?!
Jim says he has talked to all the publishers and they all view game pass as value destructive
Then admitted an independent Activision wouldn't put CoD on Game Pass.
