Corporate mergers reduce competition, not increase it

Exactly, I don't see how Microsoft taking Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, and other games away from Sony and Nintendo increases competition.

It just forces people to buy into their ecosystem (Xbox or Windows) if they want to play the games they could play in their prefered platform before
