Comment on Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week
Pohl@lemmy.world 8 months agoTrust = one or more independent organizations making secret agreements to mutual benefit.
Mergers: not a trust.
Monopoly = a single organization that controls an overwhelming amount of the market.
Microsoft buying a publisher that put out 2 games in 2023: not a monopoly.

How many times do they have to buy that 2 game publisher before they reach a monopoly?

How many of the last 10 games you bought were from Microsoft?

How many games game out this year? Thousands. There is absolutely zero possibility that MS or anyone else is anywhere near holding monopoly status on the production of entertainment software. Even if they bought EVERYTHING new creators would enter the space the very next day.
