I'm skeptical permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 years ago They didn't quite "announce" it as much as they used it as argument or evidence in court and the document was leaked or released to the public. How they knew beforehand? I have no idea. But it'd be a risky move to just make shit up like that in court, so it's pretty likely true. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jongaros@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Everything what Microsoft thinks and does is under fire due to Activision merger injunction lawsuit by FTC. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vita_man@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Yes, I understand that, but how does the Microsoft/Activision merger have anything to do with Sony? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Saint_Bandit@retro.pizza 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) @vita_man @Jongaros Sony is fighting against the merger based on the possibility of Microsoft taking acitvision titles (such as Call of Duty) off of PlayStation and making them Microsoft exclusives.

It wouldn't surprise me, as part of the merger lawsuit, that a bunch of internal plans were revealed to both sides. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 3 points 3 years ago They said they expect it to happen.
