You know what, that sounds fukked up. I can imagine the convo.

"Oh, you like rock climbing and flying planes. But don't have time to engage in your passions? Well, imagine that you have unlimited time to do what you want?".

I’ve never touched a blizzard game in my life, i don’t buy survival games.

I’m sure microsoft will take care of those affected. You don’t get to be the richest company in the world without doing capitalism.

It sucks, but it is what it is

Incorrect. You don't get to be the richest company in the world by playing fair.

Microsoft accounts for every penny. Thats why the 3rd party rumors been bubbling, they want their ROI for all this spending. It’s time to pay up

Bingo. You don't make those big acquisitions and not pay the piper. All the debts from those companies they had to take on. All those employees, benefits. It's funny because I'm sure this was all said repeatedly over the years, but some people want to say Sony Stans all the time.

Palworld is the captain now

Maybe they should have been smart enough to purchase them, instead of Zenimax and ABK. A lot more people would probably still have jobs too.

“No, but think about the employees!” “fukk Bobby Kotick!”

Reality: Bobby kotick gets a golden parachute, thousands of employees are laid off, and unionization efforts are pretty much dead in the water

2 1/2 years of non-stop gaslighting about mass consolidation

Maybe if they would have purchased a smaller cheaper developer. One that’s a diamond in the rough. You never know what’s going to blow up.

I see Colt is making sure to clearly say that Palworld is a temporary exclusive.

You can only be wrong so much. It was probably also easier to admit when he thought at least two of those above games were still coming out

The FTC IS WRONG, DISBAND THEM!!!! FIRE LINA KHAN!

Capitalism is inherently unfair. That’s kinda how it works
