How has any mega merger in any industry made things better for consumers? If this goes through MS will clean house at Activision-blizzard while leaning into the most profitable aspects of the acquisition, which is pay-to-play/micro transaction heavy games. They’ll just continue to milk as much as they can from the acquired IP, instead of creating something new It’s delusional to think this would be good for the industry and for consumers.

These huge mergers are always anti-competitive never good for consumers. This should absolutely get blocked. You know what would be good for consumers? If microsoft took that $69 billion and built a new game development studio. Force more competition in the market and create new content.
