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

:gucci:
No games breh. Losing money breh.

You can't have it both ways.


If MS was dominating sure, but if a company is in anything but 1st place or them buying the competition puts them in 1st place automatically, then worrying about them having a monopoly is questionable.

The WOAT with a monopoly taking over the gaming industry.

Someone help me make it make sense.

No one said they have a monopoly but they are clearly the retarded kid at the party who doesn’t know how to play fight and goes an breaks another kids arm

They have been losing so badly that they are over correcting by just trying to outspend the competition not actually produce anything of their own

Yeah, the monopoly talk is just a distraction. The real issues is how acquisitions like this reduces competition.

The belief that MS had to buy up two of the largest game publishers (and with more to come) just to survive is the kind of nonsense only a stan could believe.

Exactly. They ran three of their biggest IP into the ground and let two big devs responsible for them go on to have way bigger success on their own because they couldnt deal with the idea of giving those IP a breather. Thats just flat out bad management that is still going as we see with Undead Labs, The Initiative, Rare, 343, etc.

Why did they shutdown Lionhead only to have Playground Games who have no experience making rpgs make Fable? It makes no sense

This shyt is hilarious and sad at the same time. Literally nothing changes for these bots whether this acquisition goes through or not, but they're begging a senator to allow it to happen just to spite Sony for winning for too long.
