Microsoft has already committed to releasing Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms and Steam, so that's probably not any part of the concern.

Microsoft decided to make several of Bethesda's titles including Starfield and Redfall Microsoft exclusives despite assurances it had given to European antitrust authorities that it had no incentive to withhold games from rival consoles.

Sounds like the FTC does not trust Microsoft’s assurances.

For how long?
10 years.
I just don’t get that. Either the market advantage / concentration is ok or it’s not. Why let them have what they claim is an inappropriate share, just later?
If Sony/Nintendo/others can't make a popular FPS in 10 years that isn't a Microsoft problem.
