Microsoft says it offered FTC a consent decree on ‘Call of Duty’ games

Microsoft President Brad Smith said the company had offered to sign a legally-binding consent decree with the US Federal Trade Commission to provide “Call of Duty” games to rivals including Sony and others for a decade.

The rejected offer, Smith said, was made just before the FTC sued Microsoft last week in an attempt to block the tech giant’s $69-billion takeover bid for video game publisher Activision Blizzard Inc.
