not to agree with classicgamingwizzz as that'd be an unfortunate look but, if outside of this thread (and even this case of MS/ABK) you largely support corporatization and big-business, i don't think there'd be anything anyone could convince you of to change your mind about this one case.

i started off with a basis of being against big-business and for legal safeguards in the economy to prevent them getting too large. that's why i came with this question as i was wondering why this one case was getting much more praise than other acquisitions in recent memory. largely, i'm starting to understand now why it's not as bad as i first thought. even so, that doesn't change the fact that i'm still mainly against this type of practice and am ultimately disappointed with capitalism and its tools in general. just like how you seem to be very pro-capitalism and its tools, from what i can tell.

Those are some big assumptions about me here. You started with the basis of basically generalizing all big acquisitions as automatically bad. I never did that, I tried my best to look at the details. Many of the points that Ryuu has brought up in his long post further up in the thread are mirroring my thoughts. I'm just not that good at bringing them across that well so I don't.

If anyone else was trying to buy ABK I would have been very likely against it.

yes, that was quite literally what i was doing, so you’re calling a spade a spade lol. i only knew your opinion on these topics based off how you responded in this thread and your response starts off with already stating your mind probably never would’ve changed, so that seemed fairly indicative to me of your general feelings towards this type of business. also the operative word is “if,” in my statement. i was never condemning you to that POV; so, thanks for letting me know where you stand.

and yes, i still do basically think all big acquisitions are bad. i’ve stated my stance on that in response to Ryuu himself, for the reasons i gave. however, different to how you opened in this thread, i was open to the conversation from the start and i actually have softened on the perspective of this decision in spite of still thinking big business acquisitions are wrong.
