Microsoft really should have waited a couple more years to buy Activision since its only been about 2 years since their big Zenimax purchase. Trying to buy another huge gaming company right after Zenimax did them no favors to those who believe Microsoft is just trying to buy their way into a monopoly.

It's hardly a monopoly though, it's one company. I'm not dismissing the size or IP's of the company, but get over it. That's kinda how business works.


CoD already has timed DLC and content, but is anyone trying to sue over that? Same with Destiny 2.


It's dumb. BRB - gonna go sue Sony for not making FF7 Remake on Xbox....
