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

If streaming takes over gaming it may be "good" for the consumer in terms of getting access to a ton of content for a relatively low price, but it will probably be bad for the industry (studios) in general.

The same as is it with Netflix basically ... I mean sure it's nice for the consumer to not have to pay $20 for each DVD/Blu-Ray movie and having the movies always digital on demand without having to get off the couch and even change discs is nice. But that model is not as good of a money making setup as the old traditional way movies were sold was (which is part of the reason why there's a strike now in Hollywood for writers and actors because the writers and actors are not getting their fair share residuals, in many cases they're getting no residuals from streaming services). 

But like I said it's hard to feel sorry for Sony in all this because they've been a right asshole for moneyhatting content away from competitors every chance they got, so right now it's like seeing the jerk off in the club who goes around hitting on every girl finally catch one in the face by an angry boyfriend, lol.

They aren't the only ones who've done that. ;)
