SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment) CEO Jim Ryan made the controversial comment during his appearance in the lawsuit that pits Microsoft against the FTC over its interest in buying Activision Blizzard. Sony wants from the start, block this purchase operationand he did not hesitate to do anything to achieve it.

As our regular readers will remember, among the worst things Sony has done is hers try to position yourself as the victim and as the weak side in a sector that has been leading with an iron fist for years.

He also tried to make the regulators see Call of Duty as something much more important than it actually is, took advantage of the popularity of the franchise and even underestimated Nintendo, which is something very strange because he ended up getting a good dose of karma when Nintendo Switch outsells PS4, and that’s without Call of Duty.

The fact is that Jim Ryan has once again shown that the only thing he cares about is maintaining the status quo and that the success of Xbox Game Pass could force them to break the business model they’ve been stuck in since they launched the first PlayStation. According to Ryan, he talked to all the developers and they agreed that they don’t like Game Pass, because it destroys value instead of creating it.

When asked by Microsoft’s lawyer if it was true that he had talked to all the publishers, Ryan backpedaled slightly, qualifying that he talks to publishers all the time, a common position he’s held for years. It’s strange that something that destroys value is so successful and so good for usersbecause they have access to dozens of games for a small monthly fee per month.

It’s also contradictory that all publishers are against this business model, according to Ryan, and yet we can find such a large and varied amount of games on Xbox Game Pass, including key franchises from publishers as big as EA, Ubisoft and SEGA. It is clear that Sony has an interest in this sector not developing and improving for the benefit of the consumer if it “touches his pocket”.
