Its honestly crazy that our government doesn't see this as anti competitive.
One judge doesn't. Also, the FTC is part of the government.
Yet this shit is still pushing through and they have to appeal. And we all know whats gonna happen. Whens the last time a monopoly got broken up or stopped? Like the 50's? Maybe. Like the last time we broke up a corporation their reach was like a fifth of what corporations reach is today. But our government still thought they were too powerful. So wtf changed? Oh right everybody dirty now.
Microsoft is nowhere close to a monopoly player in the gaming market (before or after this).
