Good. Abusive monopolies and already too big and too powerful corporations like Microsoft should never be allowed to become even bigger and more powerful They should be split up.

I never expected this deal to get as much trouble as it did. I still think it would eventually close, but it's interesting to see the issues it is facing.
Okay, I don't get it. If they can't close the deal in June, how has it sped up the process? Can anyone explain for a completely non-law person.
Makes sense, it's pretty clear Microsoft is trying to go for a monopoly over gaming. Kinda sucks a little since it would have been nice to have Microsoft clean up ABK like they did with Bethesda a bit. But that's also probably exactly why Microsoft is buying these companies, to avoid any backlash from consumers and make themselves look like the good guys.
Anti-Trust laws are bs.

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
