    See, I agree with this angle, but at the same time it kind of feels like a Pyrrhic victory.

      Microsoft doesnt have a bad track record in gaming and doesn’t have greedy approaches. They like to dump money without forcing profits. It is a win for gamers

        Further consolidation is a major loss

        This, I’m not quite understanding. What do you mean?

          So far there’s nothing that says this is a loss for anyone other than Sony not able to do exclusive COD things or keep COD off Game pass
