I just want to block your merger.”- Lulu Cheng Meservey March 8, 2023 In his words: "I don’t want a new Call of Duty deal. The CEO of SIE answered that question in Brussels. “In his words: ‘I don’t want a new Call of Duty deal. In March, Activision Blizzard EVP Corporate Affairs and CCO Lulu Cheng Meservey took to Twitter to claim Ryan had commented on Sony’s true motivation in a behind-closed-doors meeting in Brussels. In a September 2022 interview, Ryan called Microsoft's offer for Call of Duty to remain on PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends "inadequate on many levels".
I’m not complacent and I’d rather this hadn’t happened, but we’ll be OK, more than OK.”Ī Microsoft spokesperson told IGN, "“Today showed Sony has known all along we’ll stand by our promise to keep games on its platform and made clear its work to lobby against the deal is only to protect its dominant position in the market.” I’m pretty sure we will continue to see COD on PS for many years to come. I’ve spent a fair bit of time with both Phil and Bobby over the past day. “It’s not an Xbox exclusivity play at all,” Ryan wrote in the email, “they’re thinking bigger than that, and they have the cash to make moves like this.
