    The deal should not have been allowed to go forward. This means that we won’t get Activision Blizzard games on Mac anymore. No potential port of overwatch for example. This is terrible for consumer choice in PC OS.

      You do have a choice. Buy a PC, Xbox, a cell phone or even a Samsung TV. The choices are endless brother.

      @The Analog Circle Podcast. But I’m not allowed to buy a Mac if I want to game. This is bad for consumer choice in PC operating system choice.

    If FTC wasn’t going for bat for Sony and tried to explain why it was bad for the consumer maybe they could have won.
