Despite sixteen years as an active user, Reddit is dead to me. Even the subreddits I miss because there aren’t as active related communities here (yet) aren’t worth using that fucking app.

Titan up! Hopkins gives me a little more hope for the offense.
I read too quickly. Sorry. Why are you looking for an instance, though? You get the data either way, right?
As a Titans fan:
YES!!!
As a Titans fan who has watched them sign Randy Moss, Robert Woods, Julio Jones, Eric Decker, and basically one veteran WR a year since Yancy Thigpen… my gambler’s fallacy is tingling.
There are a ton of them. Just a few examples for soccer:

For American football:
!nfl@lemmy.world !nfl@lemmy.ml !cfb@lemmy.world !cfb@fanaticus.social
There are specific communities for like every team’s fandom and every sport.

I don’t know man, I was just using a Star Wars quote for shits and giggles.
Meh. From my antitrust course in law school (which was admittedly a long time ago), nothing about this screams antitrust. I don’t see that this deal gives Microsoft monopoly power over any defined market, and Microsoft definitely hasn’t flexed any existing monopoly power over the gaming space.
Certainly Microsoft has a history of anticompetitive action and flouting monopoly power whenever it has the chance in a sector. But I don’t see this deal as giving Microsoft a vertical or horizontal monopoly. It’s just typical consolidation within the industry. It’s not for consumers, but it isn’t the result of illegal price fixing type arrangements between competitors or using an existing dominant market share to overpower the market. That isn’t illegal. That’s just a shitty industry with shitty practices.
The best argument against allowing the deal to close, under US law, is likely targeted towards the cloud and subscription models. Microsoft really does seem to have a huge edge there. But I’m not sure anyone in the industry (except Epic Games) wants to challenge the subscription practices on another player’s hardware.
I might be missing the point, but why is this “drama”? I love me some dramatic fan meltdowns so I’m all in if it’s there to be had. But all I see is consensus boredom with MCU.
So telling that Sony waited until the weekend after the Ninth Circuit denied the temporary injunction appeal. This is the same deal Microsoft proposed months ago as a means to offset anticompetitive concerns. Sony waited to give the FTC ammo for the case, but otherwise was ready and willing to ink the contract.
I’m not a fan of massive consolidation of media companies (though I think that goes without saying for most fediverse users). But using Call of Duty as a rallying cry was a false alarm from the get go. Microsoft recognized from the outset that would have been a dealbreaker. Microsoft offered great terms to Nintendo and Sony to guarantee continued access on all current platforms.
For me personally as a consumer, Zenimax and Activision are about the only viable options I can see to give Microsoft decent single player games. Microsoft has been so far behind Sony and Nintendo for so long. Microsoft has tried to build a stable by adding smaller developers, but they just can’t match Sony and Nintendo AAA products.
Tell me we’re Gen X without telling me we’re Gen X.
