Microsoft can now go ahead and close its giant deal.

    My other stance is that Activision is so shitty to its workers and customers, let’s give someone else a try

        I don’t care who wins. I just need Kotick to lose.

      See, I agree with this angle, but at the same time it kind of feels like a Pyrrhic victory.

        Microsoft doesnt have a bad track record in gaming and doesn’t have greedy approaches. They like to dump money without forcing profits. It is a win for gamers

        Eh, depending on where you’re at, not so much is lost

          Further consolidation is a major loss

          This, I’m not quite understanding. What do you mean?

            So far there’s nothing that says this is a loss for anyone other than Sony not able to do exclusive COD things or keep COD off Game pass
