Consumers are losing here no matter what happened. Either MS buys AB and we get a more consolidated industry, or they don’t, and we either continue with the shit show that is AB right now until TenCent buys them an consolidates them in a different, likely worse, more anti consumer way.

The real fault here is the greedy fuckers on the AB board who refused to change leadership after years of toxic mismanagement and instead steered the company towards sale territory for their own gains. Without their will to fix the company there was never a chance for another outcome.

I know I’m extrapolating this news too far but every time I see news like this it adds on to the reasons why I think this country will never have the will for a general strike. I don’t blame the populace, I just think corporations have decimated our collective belief in majority power so badly that we can’t even go without the latest season of “Is It Cake?” For a couple months to set even a tiny boundary.

Absolutely. Beyond shit management, I’ve never seen someone so desperately in love with meme culture who absolutely does not understand humor on any level.
