We knew that the Microsoft’s purchase of Activision It was going to be a very long operation that would be difficult to digest, but what we did not imagine is that it would take on as many overtones of revenge and reproaches as those that have been appearing in recent months. And it is that the last thing that comes to us are details related to the Final Fantasy saga.
exclusive reproaches
PlayStation has been trying to sabotage the Activision purchase in many ways. His main argument was to lose the presence of Call of Duty in his catalog, something that has been happening since the franchise was born almost 20 years ago, and that, if it happened, it would seriously affect its user base. Microsoft has already been in charge of confirming that this would never happen, and they have even promised to sign a pact that would ensure Call of Duty’s presence on PlayStation for the next 10 years.
But none of this has served to calm the waters at PlayStation, where they continue to press for the different organizations that regulate these million-dollar operations to stop the purchase and cancel the operation. And Microsoft has had enough.
After promising and ensure the future of Call of Duty on PlayStation, those of Redmond have responded in an official document addressed to the UK Competition and Markets Authority with the intention of defending themselves. And they have defended themselves by returning the ball, since, if PlayStation accuses Microsoft of a possible blocking and appropriation of titles, Microsoft has directly listed cases of exclusivity agreements that exist today.
For example, they have revealed that Final Fantasy VII Remake has a total exclusivity (without expiration) that allows the game to be exclusively available on PlayStation and PC, so Xbox will never have it. The same has happened with games like bloodborne or the future remastering of Silent Hill 2, which at the moment we knew would only come to PS5.
Some fights that don’t help
We hate everything that has to do with wars between platforms, so we are not going to deny that this situation is starting to tire. To a certain extent we understand Microsoft, since if PlayStation has a large market share it is, in part, due to the great exclusives it has, so it would not make much sense to denounce Microsoft’s actions if you have been closing exclusivity agreements for a long time. eons. How will all this end? Hopefully well, but the most important thing is that users are not affected, since all we want is to play our favorite games.
