    Consolidation is concerning, but this also means there’s a good chance Booby Cocktit will be booted out.

    …Booted out with a golden parachute, but a boot nonetheless.

      A golden parachute so big he could trivially buy into the next company. If he wanted to retire, he would have long done it.

      Worse, what if he ends up as the boss fo GamePass or Xbox?

    What’s most disappointing about this aside from the negative impacts it has on consumers with no benefits is how it shows what a grip Microsoft has on uk entities. This has been a problem for decades. Microsoft is one of those companies that has its tendrils all throughout the uk, and they can get whatever they want. Even when what they want is in opposition to decisions made by authorities specifically designed to block this kind of thing.
