Everyone who wished for Bobby Kotick to get ousted from Activision just saw a finger curl on their monkey’s paw.

Oh wow you’re such a stupid cunt you think there have been no blocked mergers lol cope further you utter fucking imbecile

Counter-arguments to what? You haven’t made any intelligent arguments yet, just “please explain how X is X” and “how can X be bad when we’ve been doing the bad thing for decades”.

“Please explain how IP exclusivity is an antitrust issue”
By definition. Please understand what words mean before you use them.

“when it’s been a standard practice across the industry for decades”
Completely irrelevant. “We’ve always done it this way, therefore it isn’t wrong” is a stupid argument.

That wasn’t my argument, just a statement of fact.

“company A has an 80% revenue market share”

Ah, yes. Tell us you have no idea what working on creative projects implies without telling us you have no idea what working on creative projects implies.

That’s an awful return on $5,000 starting in 1965.

Obligatory:

If someone is trying to give you a compliment and you take it as an insult, that’s at least partly your fault.

I see you pointedly ignored the Supreme Court, which you would have to in order to even try to make such a stupid overall point.

No one forced him to enter a legally-binding agreement to purchase Twitter at a dramatic overvalue of his own making.  He was forced to adhere to the legally-binding agreement that he’d entered into of his own free will, that’s true.

I feel like the Dreamcast is fundamentally different than the other examples here.

The Dreamcast was fucking awesome. Has an amazing library of games and some features that seemed to presage the more online connected era for consoles to come.

Think I’ve found the people who sold review codes.

“I see my whole family as being human, and I love and accept them for all their humanness,” Willow said. “Because of the position that we’re in, our humanness sometimes isn’t accepted, and we’re expected to act in a way that isn’t conducive to a healthy human life and isn’t conducive to being honest.”

There’s one more than enough in every crowd.

Found Mayo Mike. You know this dude, he desperately wants servants, or slaves.
