      Lol, I don’t make the definitions dipstick, it is what it is.

      So you agree that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have a monopoly in video game consoles? And that both Sony and Microsoft have a monopoly in the cloud gaming market?

      You know that by definition more than 1 company can’t have a monopoly, right?

      Re: cloud I apologize as I misremembered, probably because they basically didn’t argue cloud at all in their court cases that they lost.

            Microsoft will have a monopoly on Activision games. It’s a vertical monopoly…

              That’s not a thing lol. You can’t have a monopoly on a developers games 😂.

              Sony bought insomniac, therefore they have a monopoly on insomniac games, right? So that acquisition should have been blocked unless they sold the publishing rights to a third party, right?

              You have no idea what you’re talking about. Monopolies are about markets, not individual products within a market.

                  Yeah, they are. The ftc already got their arse handed to them in court, were you not aware?

                  The CMA did the almost unheard of and walked back from a hard deny to a “please give us something we can call a win so we can keep a bit of dignity when we approve the deal” and the judge even chastised them for what they’ve done.

                  I wouldn’t expect someone that thinks you can have a monopoly over a single publisher’s game to understand.

                  You again didn’t answer my question too - so Sony have a monopoly on insomniac games now? If so, why wasn’t that purchase stopped? In fact why are any studio purchases ever approved if every single one creates a monopoly?
