God of War creator slams Sony PlayStation over reliance on Call of Duty. Jim Ryan infuriates developer

Microsoft intends to acquire Activision Blizzard, causing notable concern for Sony PlayStation over Call of Duty. Some of the company's statements are drawing genuine discontent

The creator of God of War spoke emotionally about what is happening around the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard deal.

David Jaffe wrote in response to Jim Ryan’s statement that Sony’s business would never recover if Microsoft degraded Call of Duty on PlayStation:

“Your entire business is built around ONE game that you have ZERO control over?

Damn, I’ve heard of not putting all your eggs in one basket, but Ryan seems to be saying that not only did they do that, but they don't even own the fucking basket.

I get it: he’s saying whatever he needs to [to prevent the deal]. But goddamn.”

Call of Duty holds a fairly important place in the PlayStation library, and Sony has never managed to offer a worthy equivalent. Attempts were once made to develop shooters like Resistance or Haze, but in recent years, they have mostly been releasing third-person open-world games with “stealth in the grass.”
