    Capture and kill…

    The only thing better than owning the competition, is putting them out of business.

    So they buy studios that compete, fire all the workers, keep the IPs, and call it a day.

    If we enforced anti-monoply laws this wouldn’t be a thing. But monopolies dontate a lot of money to politicians so they say monopolies aren’t a big deal.

      People tried to block the Activision acquisition. Some were mocked for their attempt and some were mocked for their stance. It wasn’t enforced because for all the attempts, it couldn’t be proved which is more an indicator better definitions needed to be in place
