This was just more MS propaganda so they could buy Activision and consolidate. Further harming gaming competition. It shouldn’t be taken as anything but twisted truth for a profit.
I’m conflicted. On one hand, monopoly is absolutely bad.
On the other hand, Kotick is an abusive, greedy asswipe who is directly responsible for some of the worst trends in AAA gaming; the sooner he gets the boot, the better we all are.
My conflict lies more with how Sony fucked up gaming with their exclusive deals for the last decade or so and now Microsoft is pulling the Uno reverse on them, where I as a PC gamer lean more towards Microsoft. That’s the part of this merger I personally like to a degree.
Two decades. There was the dead years between ~2004 and 2012ish where both MS and Sony played the exclusive game. Then MS realized they could double down and get PC exclusives as well as Xbox, but with PC they don’t have to eat the hardware costs
