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

You asked how it was close to a monopoly. I thought it was fairly clear but, evidently not! Happy to have been of assistance.

Yea you’re right. They would have no competition if you simply ignore their competition. Great take

Antitrust legislation is rarely leveled against companies for having zero competition. It’s used to prevent companies from securing a market advantage that would be unfriendly towards customers. I know this can be a nuanced issue but I’m really shocked that so many people just can’t grasp how Microsoft’s acquisition of the largest company in gaming should be reason for concern.
