    What’s monopolistic about the last placed competitor buying a company to try and better compete?

      what’s not monopolistic about the second largest company in the world buying two out of like 10 major AAA publishers within 3 years, leveraging their massive market cap and other businesses to muscle their way to the top of an industry they’re currently losing in? The point isn’t that they’re in last place, the point is if they go buy out half the industry they will win by default. I mean fuck dude they literally talked about using microsoft’s money to run sony out of the business, you can go read it.

      You don’t need to simp for the a two and a half trillion dollar company, they’ll be fine.

        Literally the fact that they don’t have a monopoly, and are still nowhere near being a monopoly. Do you even know what a monopoly is?

        They said that they could, which is true. They haven’t though. Even then - not monopolistic.

        The company in 3rd place out of 3 cannot be a monopoly lol.
