Activision CEO Bobby Kotick says Sony’s ‘disappointing behaviour’ won’t damage their long-term relationship

[Cool hand luke]

Once the deal is blocked and Kotick is kicked to the curb, Sony needs to weaken Activision by demanding the 30% split.

After todays nod numbers and dwelling on Xbox’s abysmal market share, this might be kotticks way of pleading for Sony not to abandon activision blizzard. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony don’t negotiate a new contract at all and let Microsoft have cod exclusive asap to make this whole deal a bust for them.

the guy has some serious brain damage as human being.

it is like to blame a beaten woman who goes to police to report her guy for doing that.
the guy : it is ‘disappointing behaviour’

Without doubt.

I d go further and put warzone behind ps plus to play it. Whatever deal goes or not.

It ll signal any publisher who wants to leave that they re playing with fire. Maybe "leak" over journalist how Jimbo s pissed about AB and how he thought about not giving ab licence to publish on ps platforms.
Something must be done.

"Microsoft offered Sony (the dominant console leader for well over a decade, with 80% market share) a 10 year agreement on far better terms than Sony would ever get from us."

Won't be long before the PR machine goes after Google the same way it did Sony.

It's very very unlikely imo, but it would be pretty funny if Google had better luck opposing this deal than Sony did.

Let's see how MS deals with a company that can outbid them on "lobbying".

With amazon launching luna in europe and the UK it's time they jumped in aswell.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Google was their supposed main target since the beginning but they were so quiet. They let Sony do all the work and get all the hate and bad press.

I hope it's not too late.

Google probably was waiting to pounce on MS sooner or later. And they just did it.
