i refuse to be enraged by opinion pieces no matter how many times they are re-tweeted here. I am enraged enough by news.

- Here are key changes to Microsoft’s PAC following listening sessions w/ employees. We will suspend donations for the 2022 election cycle for elected officials and organizations who supported the election being overturned
- I hear Sony is briefing people in Brussels claiming Microsoft is unwilling to offer them parity for Call of Duty if we acquire Activision. Nothing could be further from the truth. 1/4
- Replying to @fxshawWe will establish a Democracy Forward Initiative for the members of our PAC community who do not want to contribute to political candidates but instead want to donate to work that will address issues and policies that are important to the preservation and promotion of democracy.
- Replying to @fxshawOur goal is to bring Call of Duty and other games – as we did with Minecraft – to more people around the world so they can play them where and how they want. 4/4
- hate to break it to the reporters who cover microsoft who are a bit tired after the last two weeks but next week is coming and we're not slowing down. :)
- This should be required reading for everyone tweeting/writing/opining about this topic: "Sony knows it won't lose Call of Duty to Xbox exclusivity. Here's what it's really about."
- Replying to @fxshawWe’ve been clear we’ve offered Sony a 10 year deal to give them parity on timing, content, features, quality, playability, and any other aspect of the game. We’ve also said we’re happy to make this enforceable through a contract, regulatory agreements, or other means. 2/4
- Replying to @fxshawSony is the console market leader and it would defy business logic for us to exclude PlayStation gamers from the Call of Duty ecosystem. 3/4
- Replying to @fxshawWe will promote & join a conversation with other businesses & organizations that want to strengthen democracy. We believe there is an opportunity to learn and work together.
- Replying to @fxshawWhile these steps were broadly supported in our listening sessions, we know they will be seen as too much or too little for some. There were several other good ideas from our meetings, and we will continue to consider other ways we can strengthen and evolve our political outreach
