What a shit time to be a gamer. Fuck Microsoft and fuck regulators for allowing this

Activision already ruined blizzard and is/was a shit company. Anyone buying their games still is a sucker who loves being ripped off. Nothing of value was lost here.

IDKY you're getting down votes. It's true. Nothing they've done for a while now is worth the time or money.

People still playing their games are mad I called them suckers probably.

The regulators fought it in court. Blame the judge.

[–] grayman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's the judge biased or corrupt? Or maybe it's the garbage laws and politicians?

[–] wagoner@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

From my reading, the judge was flawed.

This is getting closer and closer to a monopoly. It won't end well
