This is in line with the corporation’s formal response to inquiries from the Brazilian regulatory authority, which like many other regions is presently reviewing the planned acquisition for approval. Resetera was the first to notice this. Sony describes Call of Duty as “an important game: a blockbuster, an AAA-type game that has no competition” in its questionnaire responses. In its initial response to Microsoft’s planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Sony stated that it anticipates Call of Duty titles to continue to be cross-platform owing to “contractual arrangements” disclosed in January. “No other developer can devote the same level of resources and expertise in game development. Even if they could do that, Call of Duty is overly entrenched, so that no rival – no matter how relevant they are – can catch up.” -Sony
