Wow I didn’t know this was a thing. Hazards of being off Reddit I suppose. On one hand it’s getting to be a dangerous monopoly, but on the other hand Activision has essentially destroyed the core of Blizzard so maybe Microsoft will be better? I’m conflicted on this one.
You had it right in the first bit. MS is legendary for it's greed and general evil shitbaggery. Gaming isn't somehow different from all of the other industries that have fallen to monopolies. Consumers are always worse off after diversity has been crushed in a sector.
Sony made their bed, and is actually worse by using their market dominance to block 3RD PARTY titles from Xbox.
