So CoD isn't going to leave the Playstation, but Sony won't be able to use revenue from CoD to fund anything else anymore? How on earth do you think that makes sense?

For that matter, you're literally saying "Sony won't be able to afford to make their exclusives anymore" while also saying "this is good for competition." Those are mutually exclusive statements.

because sony wont be receiving as much of the profits they've enjoyed from having marketing rights and a generous mtx share agreement. in 2021 call of duty made playstation $1.6b. that's not "call of duty made activision", no. that is what sony made, solely from call of duty. we know that sony has a 40/60 split of profits with activision, whereas it's 20/80 for everyone else, everywhere else being steam and xbox. do you honestly believe that the new contract sony just signed with xbox has that split remain at 40/60, especially when microsoft is holding the entire deck of cards. do you honestly.

you mean sony needing to try and actually develop and utilize their ip's instead of just depending solely on call of duty to keep them afloat isn't going to actually make them compete now?

yes. see above for why.

sony is the top dog right now. they can absolutely come up with a competitor to call of duty if it were to ever leave their platform. remember socom? the thing that was bigger than call of duty when sony decided to can the series?
