The 10-year offer for Call of Duty is back in the spotlight. Microsoft has submitted documentation and allegations on the subject to the CMA, arguing about Sony’s ability to adapt within this 10-year period.
For Microsoft, this decade period is considered is more than enough time for the Japanese company can create alternatives and this purchase agreement does not lead to a debacle for Sony in the field of first-person shooters, which until now was leading CoD. The reason for this agreement is to reach a point that satisfies both parties.
#Microsoft filing with #CMA on whether 10-year term is sufficient for #Sony: it’s enough time for Sony to create alternatives, and there won’t be a “cliff” after 10 years because gamers can continue to use games downloaded during the last year for lifetime of console & beyond.
