    I’m all for this merger. Maybe Microsoft can use it as leverage against Sony to avoid needless exclusivity

    Capital wins again. If only the FTC didn’t sit on its ass for the last 40 years, maybe such market consolidation wouldn’t be allowed and normalized.

    Also shout-out to this comm. The Beehaw community seems delighted. You can sometimes really tell which instances skew toward leftists vs liberals

      The fact that it was challenged at all is a huge step in the right direction. Couple of years ago, the FTC wouldn’t even bat an eye with these mergers. The new chair, Lina Khan seems to be determined to reduce the power of monopolies.

      Which is a good thing, if this isn’t obvious.

      The problem lies with the complete out of touch judges now.
