I think this is good for consumers. It will allow Xbox to fight Nintendo and Sony on a more even footing.

Consumers are losing here no matter what happened. Either MS buys AB and we get a more consolidated industry, or they don’t, and we either continue with the shit show that is AB right now until TenCent buys them an consolidates them in a different, likely worse, more anti consumer way.

The real fault here is the greedy fuckers on the AB board who refused to change leadership after years of toxic mismanagement and instead steered the company towards sale territory for their own gains. Without their will to fix the company there was never a chance for another outcome.
