No! This would be a terrible nightmare. Stop repeating this, don't give them stupid ideas. Also no Square Enix, no Sega and no Ubisoft, either. Also no Platinum Games to Nintendo, either. One-trick ponys like Bungie are fine in my eyes, but big names in the industry that diversify and enrich the gaming landscape are not okay and should stay independent forever.

For the record, I'm not okay with MS buing Acti/Blizzard, either.

Well, better sleep tight then, the nightmare is coming lol.

It's only a matter of time before gaming is consolidated into 5 - 6 major players. It sucks, but Sony can't stop it, Nintendo can't either, but they can lock up certain publishers/IP, in order to maintain their market position. Why wouldn't they?

I do have my own reservations about gaming turning into a subscription landscape, especially with how most subscription services lock content on them without the option to buy it on other platforms, but it is what it is at this point. 

Nah, I won't settle with this. Of course I know that I have no power in any of this, but I won't stop voicing my concerns. If everyone just shrugged the shoulders like you do, then we'd send a message that we are okay with this. Maybe some people even are okay with this, but I certainly am not, so I won't shrug my shoulders. I want the gaming landscape to be as diverse as possible.

The only power I do have is my wallet, so I'm going to use it by refusng to buy any products from these companys. Which, to be fair, is very easy for me since no products from either Acti/Blizzard nor Bungie ever interested me in the first place. I only bought Diablo III on the Switch and regretted it soon. I will miss Bethesda and id software games a bit, though.
