“I firmly believe that we can't reach the billions of gamers that we hope to reach, without empowering more developers who have access to other communities,” explains James Lewis, senior creative partner programs lead at Xbox.

ABK CEO Bobby Kotick sent a new internal email about the Microsoft deal. Says they are progressing on regulator approvals.

Sony has even admitted that they aren't actually concerned about a Call of Duty agreement—they would just like to prevent our merger from happening. This is obviously disappointing behavior from a partner for almost thirty years, but we will not allow Sony's behavior to affect our long term relationship. PlayStation players know we will continue to deliver the best games possible on Sony platforms as we have since the launch of PlayStation.

Ho god not again... look at what you made me do Sony, after Lina Khan made me agree with Jim Jordan I have to agree with Kotick now.

My personal theory about Series X stock issues: the ABK acquisition has tied up an enormous amount of corporate resources for Microsoft and specifically the Xbox brand, to the point that money that would have gone to securing manufacturing orders is being held back until the purchase is completed and resources can be freed up again
