Not to go political, i just want to make a correction that corporate cock-sucking is nu-leftie and not right-wing. Right-wingers want some restrictions and regulations on companies.

Modern lefties, especially the far-left lgbtq/woke group, love to wank-off major corporations and companies. Most gaming memes show lefties loving MS, Disney, Apple, Google etc etc. Even the twitterati went mental because Musk (an old school lefty) bought it and brought in old school lefty ideas of freedom. He even dared to suggest peace in Ukraine; another old-school lefty talking point.

Sorry for the derail but it is laughable to say anyone on Ree is right-wing. They even consider the normal left wing as right-wing racists.
What? No. Deregulation is a neoliberal, right wing agenda.

They're not right wingers, though the Xbox fanbase is increasingly finding themselves isolated and are turning to right wing talking points and authors to support, since no one else is for the acquisition.

With Reee, it's the hypocrisy more than anything. Any other thread, Hogg Slaw would be banned for being a gamergater. Florian would've been taken out back and shot immediately. Lulu Serves Memesbadly would've been raked over the coals for being a union buster. Bobby Gropin' Kotick wouldn't have anyone wishing he got a fucking payday. UK conservative rags raging against environmental protectionism and bootlicking their corporate masters wouldn't get airtime on a commie forum.
Not only that. MS is historically known for opposing unions and worker’s rights. So it’s priceless they believe MS is good to workers.

It is a thread so you can read a summary in the replies.


So in short exactly what people here pointed out. Gamepass is the only MGS in town that can afford to have ABK, giving them an unfair advantage, BYOG are the only kind of cloud providers that benefit, and they aren't actually competition to Microsoft's model.

Wowee what a treat for everyone this acquisition would be.

That’s MS for you.

If you can’t win over an industry, destroy it and shit on the ashes.

Pretty sad how hard reddit is trying to turn the cma meeting with the ftc into a huge controversy. Gamingleaksandrumours subreddit feels like resetera with how biased it is.

You should laugh at them because this will have no repercussion in the real world.
