At the beginning of this year, Sony expressed its concerns regarding the arrangement and warned that if it is finalized, Call of Duty could become exclusive to Xbox. Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, reacted to these worries by stating that the company would handle Call of Duty in the same manner as Minecraft, a series that has continued to receive support on PlayStation. Microsoft has responded to the numerous and in-depth points that have been made about how its partnership with Activision could be detrimental to the industry because of how it could exploit things like exclusives.
