Why Do People View the MS Acquisition of ABK as a "Good Thing?"

The vast majority of neutral third-party entities applauded this acquisition proposal, you can even see that in the CMA file, pretty much all industry experts were adamant this deal would pass and were baffled by FTC and CMA's decision. Worker and worker unions pleaded for the deal to pass. 

So in reality, I have not seen credible opposition outside Xbox detractors while neutral actors were mostly pro.

I mean, of course you wouldn't find Xbox detractors on neutral third parties, that would defeat the purpose and potentially be a conflict of interest. 

My post was more so about the many video game forums such as ResetEra, GAF, IB, and VGChartz, where its clear its not only Sony fans who are opposed to this deal. We have Nintendo fans in this very thread who are opposing this deal being good for the industry. 

People's opinions and beliefs, you can find people in about any groups you can come up with that thinks the earth is flat, but it does not make it so. 

Yes some Nintendo fans are against it, and I'm sure even some Xbox fans are against it, but ask why and you find very little substance to the position, it mostly boils down to generalist big transaction = bad, or big actor doing transaction = bad, doing something Sony never did = bad. Have not seen credible concern with an actual logical/undeniable path to a bad outcome for any group of gamers but yet the benefits to some are undeniable.
