stated Bobby Kotick Activision Blizzard CEO has unexpectedly claimed that Sony is trying to sabotage Microsoft's acquisition of the company he runs. This comes after the Japanese giant recently refused to speak to him. Bobby explained that the FTC and the UK Capital Markets Authority know nothing about the video game industry and that the UK would become a valley of death if they actually blocked the acquisition.

Bobby mentioned in previous news reports that he tried to contact Sony and its executives, but the company did not respond to him. He further said that this time of year is when they do business with the company and continues:

Activision is releasing its games on Sony's PlayStation and this deal is about to close. Suddenly Sony and its entire management team have stopped talking to anyone at Microsoft. I think Sony is trying to sabotage this deal. The idea that we won't support PlayStation or that Microsoft won't support PlayStation is ridiculous.

This time, the aforementioned CEO broke his silence and pointed out to Sony what was not taken into account and what we really did not expect. This acquisition was described as the largest acquisition in the history of the industry in terms of value and parties involved. And now it has become truly the most controversial, especially with the corporate giants of the video game industry fighting among themselves.

It is also worth noting that the situation worsened, which led to a dispute between the governing committees over the issue of the deal, leading to several lawsuits being filed. The most important of these, for example, is the Federal FTC and others, in fact, the latter filed a lawsuit against Microsoft, which forced the company to seek help from Sony, as we mentioned here.
