Good. Microsoft is way too big of a player already in the gaming world, let alone tech in general. Remember when they were in court because they simply included their browser in Windows? No way they should be this big already
Windows and IE was an issue was an issue because of monopoly concerns when it came to the PC OS market and browsers.
Are you concerned that Microsoft will have a monopoly in the console gaming market if the Activision deal goes though?
We're not at monopoly, but we're definitely nearing an oligopoly. Few companies control most of the gaming market. There are indie devs sure, but for AAA titles it's just a handful of companies, and now they're trying to merge into even larger more in control companies
