What choices were eliminated? Are you upset the rapist CEO isn't going to be providing enough avenues for other rapists to publish their games or so etching? Do you think a different set of the 20 billionaires who dictate all of this are now going to dictate it differently?

And again, video games is the market that concerns you for this topic? Again, not the fucking groceries or news media? Fuckimg video games?

This is exactly my point. It's all bad faith bullshit from Sony fanboys.

The stance will move again and again.

What choices are eliminated by one megacorp owning a different one?

How does this change the market for indie developers?

Oh yeah that's kind of the whole topic was the video game market etc. And the FTC Microsoft case. If you want to talk about the rape allegations and all that. Then you need to bring that up. Because that's a whole other can of worms. Where even now you're just creating straw man arguments.

And talk about bad faith bullshit. I'm not a Sony fanboy The last PlayStation I own was a PlayStation 2 and 2001. The last Nintendo I owned was a GameCube in 2003 the last Xbox I owned was never. You don't get much more bad faith than yourself.

And your last few questions are rhetorical, self answering if you will. If I don't want any business with Microsoft. Microsoft owning everyone makes it impossible for me to not do business with Microsoft. It is by definition a bad thing. Indie developers are fine. But again companies like Microsoft Sony etc put up a lot of barriers for many of them. So I have no love for Microsoft Sony etc again. Any more questions? Or at least genuine ones?

Actually, the topic was how fucking stupid the people are who pretend like the Microsoft Activision acquisition was on the radar of megacorporate monopoly problems.

I'll give you this much, that's desperately what you wish it was about. And you've tried very hard to make it about that. It must be frustrating to keep failing so hard though. But I think it's at least ironically funny a Microsoft fanboy like yourself is running around here acting all self-righteous calling everyone else fan boys. Clowns gotta clown I suppose. 🤡

Bruh, I'm the OP of our conversation, I said what I said and tou have twisted and tried to squirm away.

Quit being pathetic and either engage what was said or go vitch to somebody who cares.
