The Microsoft ZeniMax deal has been a huge point of reference for the FTC throughout the last week, as the agency attempts to invoke a preliminary injunction on Microsoft's proposed $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. It's possible we'll get more information and clarity on this meeting during Microsoft's cross-examination of Stuart, and we'll update this story if that's the case. When Spencer testified last week, this is the meeting the Xbox leader claimed he didn't remember the specifics of.
This means Xbox and ZeniMax's projected profits after the acquisition factored in releasing some Bethesda games on PlayStation, before this decision came down from Spencer.
"We will have issues in the deal model as we pull a huge number of PS units out of model,” Stuart noted. The two went on to discuss how pulling all Bethesda titles from PlayStation would cause profit issues in Microsoft and ZeniMax's deal model. Booty confirmed this during the chat conversation, writing, "Phil told them all titles going foward, Xbox exclusive."
