Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
My other stance is that Activision is so shitty to its workers and customers, let's give someone else a try
I just want to see Bobby Fucking Kotick gone.
I don't care who wins. I just need Kotick to lose.
Yeah he's a real piece of shit. That alone is a good reason
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
Eh, depending on where you're at, not so much is lost
Further consolidation is a major loss
Correct.
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
