Xbox wins, FTC loses again - Lemmy.world

"Megacorporation Wins. Consumers lose again. "

Would be the correct title.

I disagree.

Would you prefer the direction Activision-Blizzard is going in, by profiting off of users in predatory practices within their games like now?

Man, so much doom talk with you guys. What is the better alternative? Remain the status-quo? Because in doing so, that is a worse condition for consumers in comparison. And fuck that word too, CONSOOMER, because it’s a dirty word that blankets all of society to be like cattle with wallets. That’s what we’re all are now? Where’s the dignity?

Genuinely asking, do you think the “profiting off of users in predatory practices” that ABK does now will change unde Microsoft? I’m conflicted on the acquisition but I would be highly surprised if that is something Microsoft changes.

Personally, yeah, I would like the status quo to remain because as shitty as ABK is, I can make the choice not to support their practices by not buying or playing their games
