And the FTC unable to convince anyone that Microsoft is lying about its promise to leave Call of Duty on PlayStation in the first place. The FTC ignored that almost everything it was accusing Microsoft of doing with exclusivity has been what Sony has been doing for years with its own franchises, where despite huge sales and critical acclaim, no one is expecting them to lend them to Xbox. The FTC also demonstrated an utter lack of knowledge about the industry, infamously saying that Microsoft could make exclusive “Christmas characters” that Sony couldn’t have, when Sony has had a deal to give itself exclusive characters as recently as this year.
Again, for this specific case, the FTC simply took a poor position that even the judge, during the trial, said was mostly about defending a single company, Sony, and its PlayStation brand, rather than consumers at large.
