“With the Way Sony Has Been Acting, They Do Not Deserve…” – Fans Mock the PlayStation Maker Over Its Desperation for Call of Duty Despite Microsoft’s Reasonable Offer
Follow Us
Ever since Microsoft announced its plans to acquire Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard, earlier this year, Sony has been in a state of unrest. So much so, that their executives have left no stone unturned in preventing the massive $68.7 billion deal from getting completed. It’s now clear that Sony doesn’t want to let CoD go away from the PlayStation, no matter what.
Now, this situation has been out in the public as well. Recently, a report revealed that Microsoft had offered Sony a 10-year deal to keep Call of Duty on the PlayStation. But Sony reportedly didn’t comment regarding this offer. It implies that it’s probably not interested in having a limited deal for the action franchise.

Fans call out Sony for being desperate to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation
While many regulatory bodies are currently scrutinizing Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision, Sony is trying its best to not miss out on Call of Duty. The company believes that if the record-breaking deal between the Xbox maker and CoD publisher is sealed, it will lose the access to the long-running action series to make it available on the PlayStation.

However, it seems like Microsoft is making efforts to not let this happen. According to a report by The New York Times, the company did reach out to Sony, earlier this month, and offered them a 10-year deal. Under this, the PlayStation maker will get to keep Call of Duty on its platform for a duration of the next decade. However, Sony didn’t comment on this offer at all.

As for Microsoft and Activision, 16 governments are currently reviewing the deal between the two companies. Only two of them, from Saudi Arabia and Brazil, have approved it so far.
Meanwhile, it appears like fans are not happy with the way Sony has presented its stance for Call of Duty to stay only on the PlayStation as an exclusive. Most of the people on social media mocked the industry giant for its recent actions in order to keep CoD franchise on its consoles. “With the way Sony has been acting, they do not deserve 10 years,” wrote one fan on Twitter.
With the way Sony has been acting, they do not deserve 10 years.

Mark my words, after the 10 year deal Sony would be crying again and said it wasn't fair 😂

Damn Sonys PR team is in overdrive about this. They didn’t think they’d make this public

Why is Sony so worried about their deal with cod anyway. All they get is content a week or month before Xbox. Microsoft making COD xbox exclusive is also a really poor business decision that would really cost them.

Sony is extorting Microsoft and succeeding.

As an Xbox player, I don’t care if PlayStation gets to enjoy COD like everyone else. They should get to play too, but don’t make PlayStation exclusive items for COD. Console exclusive items are so pointless. Just make everything available to everyone. But it’s just my opinion
