Reply to comment by Lootcifer- in Microsoft-Activision deal: Gamers sue to stop merger by marketrent

Imagine thinking msft would actually fix anything about atvi.

All they care about is one thing and one thing only : squeezing more money out of gamers so they can report colorful profit numbers to shareholders.

I mean they already acknowledged and met with union committes that they themselves have spoken to the FTC offering their support because of how this will help Activision employees

If that alone isn’t good change Idk what is.

Isn't that every company in the gaming industry? They are making video games because they know we want to buy them. It would be one thing if they were buying up pharmaceutical companies to gouge prices on life-saving medicine. Nobody needs video games to survive. If you don't want to give these companies your money you don't have to.

Microsoft as a whole have made big strides to being more consumer friendly with their openness to Linux and open-source. Game Pass is also quite possibly the best value in gaming right now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm under no illusion that money isn't a factor in every decision they make but they're a business trying to make/maintain a profit. I certainly trust them more than Acti-Blizz.
