I love that Fran Drescher is at the center of what could be one of the most consequential strikes of the 21st Century so far. While this (and WGA strike) is mostly about pay, it’s also the first real pushback against corporate exploitation of AI.

You are right in one respect. Business monopolies aren’t like the board game.

They are much, much worse.  

They are allowing the largest software company in the world, and the third largest company in the world by market cap, to purchase the largest game software company in the US (non first party).  That is fucking horrible.

Narrowing the focus of the case to Call of Duty, to the exclusion of most other of Activision’s IP was a huge mistake and negatively affected the strength of FTC’s case.
