      By the way, Activision acquisition results in playing the future and past Activision/Blizzard titles for a very cheap price on PC too (thanks to Gamepass). So it's a big deal for PC gamers too.

            "Hurts gamers".. ahaha. As if gamers are anyhow enjoying the present state of gaming.

            Remasters after remasters, remakes after remakes, new installments are either copy-paste or take 10 years, mAcrotransactions are normal, every new game is a mess at launch, online connections for singleplayers. There is no passion, quality or standards in this era of stagnation in games.

              It's common knowledge that the UK is the Sony land.

                Sony: Makes anything that remotely result in (I mean the only reason for) higher PS sales, exclusive.
                Regulatories: Zzz...

                Microsoft: Tries to buy a company that "might" lead to future titles which won't be available on PS (not even console exclusive!) but gamers can access for dirt cheap gamepass prices on day one and enjoy.
                Regulatories: *TRIGGERED*

                  None of Sony exclusives are as centralizing compared to acquiring a giant like Activision

                  No monopolies please

                    Will hurt PLAYSTATION* gamers
                    There are PS exclusives which hurt pc gamers so they shouldn't be complaining about Microsoft exclusives
                    It's only fair
