Do I think Activision Blizzard's Leadership is a cesspool that needs to change? Yes. Do I think a good way to do that is to form every large entertainment monopolies? No, no I do not. We need some trust busting.


Why do people complain about MSFT when Sony and Nintendo are way worse in this regard? I hope they first split all studios among themselves so that EU can have enough ammo to break them all up or regulate cross platform compatibility in some other way. I'm ok with having every game 20% less performant on secondary platforms


Hopefully we'll see a better Blizzard come out of this!


This could/would be bad for consoles other than Xbox. Truly bad news.
