Sony: Without Call of Duty, there would be no God of War or The Last of Us.

It seems like the Call of Duty game has a lot of credit for Sony being able to deliver distinctive first-party titles in recent years, and losing the game could have an unfortunate adverse effect.

Sony Studios has always stood out for its ability to deliver distinctive original titles, such as God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, The Last of Us and other story-driven titles that have consistently won critical and audience acclaim.

But it seems that the game Call of Duty has an important role in the emergence of such titles and in presenting them with this differentiated quality. This is what came through One of the leaked documents From the British supervisory authority CMA, which has witnessed a wide dissemination on the Internet during the last few hours, but we at VGA4A have not been able to confirm its authenticity.

According to the leaked document, Sony claims that Call of Duty players spend at least $1 billion across various different PlayStation services, such as monthly subscriptions, add-on content, digital store game purchases, and more.

These huge amounts are used by Sony, in turn, to develop its projects and studios, that is, if PlayStation loses the Call of Duty game in favor of Xbox, this will negatively affect the development of first-party games and creativity in the development or even investment in the development of future devices.

This explains that the loss of the game and, consequently, the loss of that large amount of money that Sony earns from the Call of Duty game will have an impact on the delivery of great story titles that carry innovations and broad experiences. In other words, we would not see great titles like God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, The Last of Us and others, if it were not for this game.

These claims, which have not yet been proven, may be exaggerated. We do not deny the great role of the Call of Duty game in bringing more profits to Sony, especially since the latest opinion polls confirmed that many players prefer to get it on PlayStation platforms.

But the question is: does the gaming revenue that Sony collects really play a big role in whether its discontinuation affects the development of major first-party titles or even the development of platforms and services? Perhaps the matter is exaggerated, with the aim of appealing to legal authorities to achieve the ultimate goal, which is not to pass on Microsoft's acquisition agreement to game developers at any point.

What are your expectations, my dear?
