Despite the somewhat confusing title, this is an analysis of the merger trial, and how it could continue. Definitely worth the read, it pulls back the curtain on what happens when two giant corporations are trying to fuse.

What Microsoft needed was to not fuck up for an entire generation with their first party output. The buying spree they’ve been on is to make up for their own incompetence. I won’t defend Sony buying so many timed exclusives but that’s not nearly the same as buying two publishers to make their content exclusive.
