    I don’t doubt this to be true, but all the attempts to block the deal have centered around Call of Duty.

      That’s only because of Sony. They’re the only ones that kept bringing up CoD - accusing, without evidence, that MS is going to make it exclusive to Xbox.

      Phil Spencer / Microsoft only ever talked about CoD in response to Sony’s allegations - and that was to say they have no intention of taking CoD from PS and to offer long term deals as assurance.

      And furthermore, to confirm that because they’re a distant #3 in the market, cutting off Activision’s biggest game from the current market leader would be a great way to cut off a big chunk of their new acquisition’s revenue.
