Xbox began 2022 despite a bang when it announced plans to acquire Activision Blizzard. You read this because most nations continue to be unsatisfying whether the big deal is important or not. The merger has come to an end in Brazil; the nation ruled that it should go ahead as planned and has no objections to a move to Xbox.
The GAMES DAY DAYS GOD.
The Administrative Council for Economic and Legal Justice (CAED) of Brazil confirmed its decision, explaining exactly why it doesn’t believe the acquisition will harm the gaming industry. Its explanation addresses PlayStation’s fears that Call of Duty will become an Xbox exclusive and how much it thinks the deal will positively affect its console sales.
We must stop becoming toxic to videogame developers, with the exception of Bobby Kotick.
Considering the huge popularity of Call of Duty, it’s reasonable to assume that if Activision Blizzard games weren’t available on Sony consoles, PS3 users could decide to move to Xbox, explains CADE. It’s quite possible to say that if upcoming Call of Duty games become Microsoft’s exclusive ecosystem, players loyal to the PlayStation brand simply could abandon the series.
When CADE reviews its decision, it shows that the acquisition can’t continue. Nintendo hasn’t rely on Activision Blizzard content for the video game market, and PlayStation has been an industry leader for more than 20 years. That was the case that went along in this process; then, CADE was very transparent regarding its decisions. It was actually a questionnaire which, after all, was released for major players in the industry, which showed exactly how worried PlayStation was about losing Call of Duty.
The first foreign country to approve the agreement is Saudi Arabia. The FTC will decide next month, and the watchdog would be able to reveal the verdict soon. The investigation into Activision’s work culture is ongoing. The Xbox discussed this for improved in case the merger happen via a new webpage, which shows how it believes that the agreement could benefit everyone.
