PlayStation boss Jim Ryan reportedly flew to Brussels last month to meet with European Union regulators currently scrutinising Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard.<\/p>\n
According to Dealreporter sources (paywalled), the Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO personally visited the EU headquarters on September 8 to voice the console rival’s concerns over the proposed $68.7 billion deal.<\/p>\n
As has been widely publicized in recent weeks, PlayStation’s concerns over the deal are around the future release arrangements for the Call of Duty series \u2013 which is regularly PlayStation’s annual best-seller \u2013 and whether it will be pulled from their platforms.<\/p>\n
