A document has come out showing that The Last Of Us Pt. 2 cost $220 million to develop and Horizon Forbidden West cost $212 million to develop among other stats. Sony actually had those numbers redacted but the marker they used is poor, so you can make it out, lol.

One job, how do you mess that up lol
TLOU2 makes sense considering how many people worked on it and itâs production level but FW only slightly cheaper? Thatâs wild to me

I am just speechless that there is an initial reaction like that from anyone high up at Sony. It shows a huge lack of education or awareness. Did he even consider looking at profit and value? Mobile pulls in enormous profit. ABK had a higher profit than Playstation this last quarter.

Im not sure what the point of trying to emphasize that COD is popular is, the judge is well aware that COD is popular.
ACTIVISION GAMES ARE POPULAR! I REST MY CASE.
YesâŚthat is why we are worth 70 billion dollars.

Jesse is right. It is right call for Bobby to kiss up Sony to convince everyone that CoD being exclusive will be damaging and so Microsoft will definitely keep it on PS platform.
Where is this line of questioning going?
Nowhere. Activisionâs financial interests are irrelevant after they get acquired.

No matter what the end game of this is, unless it establishes immediate irreparable harm, itâs pointless.

It just adds more reason for the judge to believe Microsoft when they say theyâll keep COD multiplatform. The value of the IP would be massively diminished otherwise.

The FTC gotcha attempts are feeble and kind of sad.
MS gave them favorable terms. âWe will buy you, 70 billion for everything foreverâ

Even the CMA realised it was futile to go down this route but the FTC just keeps going for it.
