The question of whether such a deal is ultimately in the interest of consumers can only be answered on a case-by-case basis. Subscription services and game stores like the Epic Games Store-Sony is an Epic shareholder by the way-do (often time-limited) exclusive deals all the time Apple even says in its Brazilian filing that all Apple Arcade games are exclusives, though Apple made none of them itself. The following passage, which refers to "blocking rights" Sony acquires to preclude game publishers from making their titles available through Microsoft's Game Pass subscription service, has drawn some attention (click on the image to enlarge the red arrow was obviously added by me): Now, in a filing made on Tuesday (PDF), Microsoft's Brazilian lawyers address, inter alia, Sony's claims-and not without highlighting that Sony is "isolated" among respondents to a CADE questionnaire. Sony is trying to make some sort of a foreclosure argument even though Microsoft has made it clear that Call of Duty will remain available across the major platforms. There can be a single-brand aftermarket, but the notion that any entertainment product with loyal fans constitutes a market of its own obviously cannot be the applicable legal standard. While others say there's still going to be enough competition in the games market post-transaction, Sony takes outlier positions such as suggesting that Call of Duty is a single-product market. It does, however, appear that other industry players, from a local hero like digital games store Nuuvem to the Apples and Googles of the world don't see serious issues that would counsel against clearance-the sole exception being Sony. It's a slow process since I'm not fluent in Portuguese just in Spanish, which is similar enough that one can get the message and just occasionally has to look up a word. The Commerce Commission of New Zealand published Microsoft's (heavily redacted) application for clearance as well as the agency's statement of preliminary issues, andīrazil's Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE Administrative Council for Economic Defense) is even more transparent: all documents are available via a web page, though the public versions are often redacted. In most places, the record is kept confidential, but The merger is now being reviewed by competition authorities in various jurisdictions. Microsoft and Activision Blizzard announced a merger agreement in January, followed in February by a Microsoft statement on app store principles. ![]()
