Why are they only talking about console market shares? Game Pass is on PC as well. So how about those PC market shares?
And if Microsoft is a saint that only wants their games on as many platforms as possible, how about them Bethesda games then?

Maybe its just me but it seems like a lot of people are missing the context of what is going on.  The EU gave reasons in a nice document how MS could acquire ABK.  They did not list Nintendo, NA or the PC.  They specifically mentioned Sony and the potential lock out of COD on Sony console.  What this mean is that putting anything in that talks about anothe country would be foolish since these are regulators for the EU.  Putting anything that talks about another platform that was not mentioned as being hurt by the deal would be foolish as it does not progress your point.  The focus of the arguments should be on exactly what is being contested to limit the scope of their arguments.

So no, they should not include the PC, Nintendo or anything else that was not contested and only focus on the points brought up by the regulators in their report.
