The 10-year agreement that Sony refused to sign
With this joke, Activision Blizzard’s communication director refers to a agreement that from Xbox they have offered several companies to carry their games, including those of the saga call of dutyto platforms outside of Xbox over the next 10 years. Companies like Nintendo and Nvidia have already signed on, but Sony seems to have refused to do so. The Lulu Cheng Meservey meme, of whom we have already seen others tweets on the subject, it reflects that from Activision they do not understand why PlayStation has not signed the agreement.
