“Activision Blizzard has also reacted to the decision. Bobby Kotick, Activision Blizzard’s CEO, said in a statement. ‘It will enable competition rather than allow entrenched market leaders to continue to dominate our rapidly growing industry.’”
How exactly would a single company gobbling up tons of established IP and studios enable more competition? This is a miserable day for consumers.
I think it makes Microsoft a more appealing choice from a consumer standpoint. Not entirely convinced it will create or reduce competition in any meaningful way in the market. Sony still has a great exclusives portfolio and Nintendo is on another level when it comes to IP. Still, I’d be upset if I was a Sony gamer.

“Waaaaah, I can’t play this one game because it’s an Xbox exclusive.” Plays the 90 Sony exclusives instead.
That comment has strong “sense of accomplishment” vibes…
