Why is it funny to see 1900 people lose their jobs? You can hate the corporations and those at the top, but I'd wager the vast majority of those laid off are just normal people trying to make a living.
It's funny to see 1900 people lose their jobs because they stayed instead of protesting the merger. If they're working at Microsoft/Activision/Blizzard, I promise you they don't have any real problems in life. Many of us told people that as soon as the merger went through they were going to axe a large portion of the staff, and we got "oh no that doesn't happen!".
So this, just like every merger before it, was a stupid idea to let pass, and I'm glad people are suffering for it, because maybe a little introspection will do them well.
But hey, can't really expect that much out of America, so oh well.
The FTC nearly blocked the merger themselves. It's clear to me that you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
But just go ahead and keep on making excuses for the consolidation of the gaming industry into a single giant behemoth. There are those of us who remember the Microsoft-of-yore and know what's coming down the pipe here.
People losing jobs is funny to you? You are worthless human being that should just stop posting their horrible opinions. I feel embarrased to be the same species as you. Just stay in your mom's basement and watch tv, you'll save us all the embarassment of your wannabe edgy cringe postings devoid of empathy and humanity.
