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

In the long term I do think it probably will be bad. Consolidation is going to happen and gaming is going to become pay per month services much like Netflix destroyed the model for movie/TV content. Game Pass will IMO become the lead gaming service because MS is just going to outspend everyone else to ensure it's no.1, Activision-Blizzard won't be the last buy for MS though they might have to wait a bit before another big buy.

In the short run, it's funny to see Sony get screwed over for all their money hat bullshit and knocked the fuck out (lol), and for COD to come to the Switch. 

Money hating practices are pointless, wasted money, benefits no one, I am not even sure how SIE benefits from it at this point since consumers are spending more on heavy hitters and less on everything else. If the future is subscription services, you need IPs and catalogues that are yours for your service to profitable and more attractive, what benefits did your subscription service gain from money hating Deathloop and the other flop game that I don't remember? 

Every company moneyhats in this industry hats and every company that did so has funded a flop at one point. That's the nature of the business.
