I wonder how long we’ve slept on corrupt judiciary while focusing on a corrupt executive. Those courts haven’t allowed a successful antitrust lawsuit since 1984 despite clear and overwhelming monopolies in numerous industries now.
Congresscritters only go after corporations for antitrust when they stop sending
bribeslobbyists to Washington.More monopolies mean fewer companies globohomo has to control.
Fewer.
20th century ZOGCommunism had 1 company owned by the state. 21st century ZOGGayRaceCommunism is smart enough to have 2 (possibly 3) companies owned by the state, all controlled by the same people ofc and colluding to ensure that the boat is never rocked too much
Names once great. Now hollow and devoid.
That's one way to avoid antitrust rulings: just destroy yourself.
So many grand names from times past.
This was such a waste of taxpayer money and FTC's and Microsoft's time. Even after the acquisition, Microsoft only had like 13% of an extremely competitive market. And because of the time and money spent on fighting the FTC, EU, and UK, Microsoft is now even further behind, essentially has thrown in the towel on competing against PlayStation by going multi-platform, and now Sony basically has a monopoly on the high-end console market, leaving consumers across the globe worse off than ever.
Didn't Sony treat this acquisition as a mortal threat?
Which is ironic as the xbox might have helped sony become soyny in the first place.
I never found an issue. Microsoft is crap and so is Blizzard, both are woke on steroids - only thing that can happen is for Blizzard to be even more woke, implode and cause some damage to Microsoft in the process.
In the grand scheme of things it's pointless since Microsoft is basically infinite money
