    the judge ensures that it is clear that Microsoft’s intention is to bring the Call of Duty saga, and the rest of Activision’s content, to a greater number of consumers.

    How can a judge be so naive?

    While I agree that in the end this is probably not good in the long run, I do hope they do something with the state of Call of Duty, activision has killed the franchise. Just look at the latest warzone / MW player count.

    I used to enjoy playing with my friends. But the game is so broken.

    I do think Phil Schiller is a good guy, let’s hope this doesn’t go sideways.

    Maybe I’m being naive… only time will tell.

    I personally see this as bad. Look at all the local television stations getting bought up and have become “message deliverers”. There are only few companies that own the majority and have decided that delivering local news is secondary to deploying a message. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_fHfgU8oMSo]
