So apparently there was actually some idiot journalist for VGC (the other VGC) yesterday trying to claim he had received news that Microsoft plans to sell off the Xbox division if the ABK deal isn't approved. He got called out by just about everyone, including other journalists such as The Verge's Tom Warren, and has now protected his twitter account

Wait, so apparently it wasn't just some idiot journalist, but Andy Robinson, the head editor for the other VGC, who has been a games journalist for over 20 years, formerly working at CVG and GamesRadar+. A 20 year industry veteran and head editor for a gaming site should know better than to post a "trust me bro" article with no sources. 

It wasn't an article, it was a tweet where he claimed that some "pundits" believe that Microsoft will sell Xbox if the ABK deal doesn't go through. I'm so tired over this conversation about if Microsoft will sell or shutdown the Xbox division if a deal which didn't even exist in their minds until late 2021 doesn't go through.

This acquisition has caused some serious brain rot, that alongside trolls who hope it happens and people who just worry too dang much. Thinking about it for longer than a minute will make you realise how silly it is to suggest either of those two things have a serious possibility of happening, I can't even be bothered to write up why because I feel it's a waste of my time it's that farfetched, Lol.
