As expected. I’m eager to see how everything will play out. I’m happy Kotick will finally be completely gone, but I’m not happy about consolidation.

Hylirica ,

Precisely how I feel about it, too. I’m glad ActiBlizz employees will hopefully have a better working environment. Plus, I can play WoW again without supporting a human-sized scrotum. 😁

But the sheer size of Microsoft at this point is a bit alarming. It’s like watching Disney buying Marvel and LucasArts: a looming giant that will either fall or trample everything underfoot.

At the time I was excited about the consolidation of Marvel IP and what it could mean. Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic 4 all under one roof? Exciting!

Now, I’m so burned out on all of it I just stopped watching. They went so hard to get ALL of my time that they now get none of it.

Rentlar ,

My boycot of Starcraft is until Kotick leaves or a verifiable change in culture at (Acti-)Blizzard, I can’t believe I’m cheering for Microsoft to kick that money-grubbing gremlin of a CEO out.

Next step in the saga, Sony buys off EA as a counter attack.

We just shouldn’t allow any accquisition of any company above a billion net worth. It would solve so much.

In America only corpos matter, laws are for the poors

abhibeckert ,

Other countries around the world already approved this deal a long time ago.

The US has shown the most resistance.

KilgoreTrout ,

It’s still blocked in the UK.

SweetBilliam ,

Well, the UK wants to negotiate more. The legal action has been paused.

John_Coomsumer ,

The laws are the problem here, the FTC’s legal case and legal argument was dogshit. The moral one isnt, but that solution lies with congress and they are gridlocked on actual anti competitive laws by corpo-suckers that are only 75% republican

yeah, its getting a little worrying how they’re just buying the game market now, especially when you remember how horrible gates & ballmer era microsoft was with anticompetition

What does the UK’s rejection of the merger mean going forward now that the US has allowed it to pass?

TheHalc ,

They’ll renegotiate, get some minor additional concessions and fall in line.

That was fast. Maybe we will finally get another Guitar Hero game.

Hey y’all. While I didn’t see anything in the last thread about this that warranted removal, I would just like to remind everyone to be(e) nice, and remember there are other people on the other side of the screen. Please try to keep console war bickering to a minimum, and if you want to engage with other users, remember to do it in good faith. Thanks <3

Kerred , to steamdeck in Valve just proved the Steam Deck is still unchallenged by its rivals — here's why
@Kerred@lemmy.ml avatar

Has any info been leaked about the profit margin Steam Decks are for Valve?

I get it’s a loss leader to increase Steam software purchases, but would be neat to know how much of any they earn per deck.
