Activision Blizzard has not made its new games available through subscription services such as Microsoft's Game Pass, and the acquisition would make playing Activision Blizzard's games more affordable, Microsoft said.Microsoft said that after taking almost a year to investigate the deal and examining millions of documents from Activision Blizzard and Microsoft, the FTC has not shown evidence that Microsoft is looking to yank the game series from PlayStation.In its own response to the FTC's lawsuit, Activision Blizzard said that "if Xbox withheld Call of Duty from Sony's PlayStation or other platforms that compete with Xbox, Xbox would immediately forgo billions of dollars in lost game sales and cleave off a massive portion of the garners that Activision has worked so hard to attract and retain."The FTC said in its lawsuit that Microsoft had promised the European Commission that it wouldn't have a motivation to prevent people from playing games from ZeniMax, a game publisher Microsoft acquired in 2021, on consoles other than the Xbox, but after receiving approval for the ZeniMax deal from the European Commission, the company said it would be making some ZeniMax games exclusive.Activision Blizzard said in its filing that the FTC "invented highly gerrymandered relevant product markets — including a 'high-performance console' market limited to Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as individual markets for multi-game subscriptions and cloud gaming — in an attempt to support its conclusory theories of harm.""
