What? She's right that the merger should be heavily scrutinized.
As far as the sexual abuse situation, MS (like a lot of other companies) can't even get their own houses in order, so it's likely things don't change in a meaningful way.
And why is that? So microsoft won't continue to dominate the gaming industry right?
Oh wait...
That's not even remotely close to happening.

blathering blatherskite!
Because microsoft is a 2+ trillion dollar tech behemoth throwing 80+ billion dollars around like its candy. In what way should that NOT be scrutinized? Microsoft buiying a lemonade stand should be scrutinized.
Disney bought all of 21st Century Fox for only one billion more, and that was also highly scrutinized by the FTC.
Hopefully this deal goes through and successfully clips Microsofts wings in the gaming sector, acqusition wise.
I think the issues at Activision were publicized enough that MS will be forced to make meaningful changes

Don't act like buying up large publishers left and right isn't creating an environment that reduces competition.
Disney buying fox is not =/= MS buying a publisher.
If Microsoft bought sony or nintendo then that would be different.
If MS didn't do anything they would slowly be strangled out of the industry.
And gamers are all over the place, especially stans. "MS needs to use that money they have just buy some devs and publishers" They do just that and
As opposed to locking out publishers and developers from MS buy the Number 1 most in sales company?
I'm trying to understand what's the difference.

Microsoft had 23 studios before buying Activision, how would they be “strangled” out the industry? The only thing stopping from being successful is putting out good games

Wow.
Tencent? They don't interfere with developers releasing everything/everywhere.

Right….
It’s funny how NIntendo doesn’t own 33 studios and they manage just fine
