Microsoft, in turn, has tried to assuage regulators’ concerns by saying it would not restrict access to Call of Duty games, and would pursue a strategy similar to the one it has followed with “Minecraft,” another popular game it owns. “Minecraft” is readily available on most popular consoles and platforms.“We’re continuing to work with the European Commission on next steps and to address any valid marketplace concerns,” Microsoft spokesperson David Cuddy told The Washington Post.
“We will continue to cooperate with the European Commission where, in the countries they represent, we have many employees,” Kotickalso posted to the investor relations website. “We have been working closely with Microsoft to actively engage regulators in other key countries to answer their questions and provide them with information to assist with their review. People from across our business units and functions have been involved in this regulatory work.
