Sounds like a leadership statement.
I'm taking bets!
She says "epic", I say "pathetic".
No one should be advocating for a nearly 2 trillion dollar company to gobble up one of the largest gaming publisher/developer suites in the world. No one. This has always been my issue with the case, not Xbox itself. I like Xbox as a brand and want to see it do well, otherwise I wouldn't have bought every single one of them at launch. However, history is rife with these kinds of corporate mega mergers and despite the PR coming out of Microsoft we see how they turn out: Anti-consumer, less competition, higher prices, less innovation, fewer worker protections. ALWAYS.
The fact that people are cheering on the consolidation of an industry into the hands of a few major players isn't "epic".
It's just sad fanboyism by people who failed to pay attention in business and/or history classes.
But I do agree that that sounds like a leadership statement. Much better than the recent defeatist tone Phil took in public.
