Did Sony executives fly to Microsoft to negotiate on Call of Duty? Gamers present evidence

In early February, Sony representatives were reportedly scheduled to fly to Microsoft to discuss the American corporation’s deal with Activision Blizzard. According to reports, the companies want to reach an agreement regarding the Call of Duty license.

Florian Mueller, founder of the FOSS Patents blog, reported a few days ago that, according to his information, Sony executives traveled to Seattle on February 6 to discuss the Activision Blizzard deal with Microsoft. As is well known, the Japanese corporation is its main opponent.

Sony representatives were reportedly set to head to Seattle after meeting with the UK Competition and Markets Authority to discuss the terms of the corporation’s long-term deal regarding Call of Duty. The journalist initially relied on his own information, but then a gamer presented “irrefutable evidence” — indeed, a Sony private jet departed London for the US in early February.

The situation was also commented on by analyst Roberto Serrano, who believes that a second meeting between the companies was scheduled to take place on February 17. The corporations were allegedly supposed to talk before the final reports from the European Union and the UK are published.

For now, it is hard to say whether the makers of PlayStation and Xbox will reach an agreement.
