Matt Booty says Microsoft could "spend Sony out of business," here in a 2019 email. pic.twitter.com/KLuBrXwkDe— Shannon Liao (@Shannon_Liao) June 26, 2023 Shannon Liao Twitter

Microsoft has been acquiring studios left, right, and center, with the current trial happening due to a perceived monopoly that would arise in the event that the Microsoft Activision-Blizzard goes through.
