yay, more power in the hands of Microsoft. What could possibly go wrong?

On the other hand, should I feel bad for Call of Duty fans?
I was not able to become one, as I could not suspend my disbelief enough for the regenerating health in CoD 2 and later ones.

Hopefully the 9th. Circuit can step in and has more sense than this judge. The damage that Microsoft, a convicted monopolist, can do is being understated even by the FTC.

Xbox seems lag behind Sony significantly, in terms of userbase, I wonder if this will have an effect with more people opting for the American console if the acquisition of Activision Blizzard ends up making Microsoft's GamePass a more tempting option than it currently is.

Overall though, further consolidation is probably bad for consumers on the longer term.

I havenโ€™t played much activision games in years cause theyโ€™re windows only now and anti stream so if Microsoft stays true to changing that streaming bit then Iโ€™d actually play their games again ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
