It's nothing to do with streaming, just trying to come up with arguments though.

Still baffling to me that this merger ia such a big deal, like gaming will be ruined or something. While literally could help Blizzard in ways.

 

Yep, the pushback and scrutiny seems more in line with if they were trying to buy Sony or Nintendo themselves.... I don't think any big publisher/developer is such a big deal. Especially if you take into account the concessions they offered. I'm glad they did offer those concessions, but I personally don't even think they should have been required.

I think it is good MS are not being permitted to in effect own almost all future AAA gaming development. 

It would have a very harmful effect not just on the general eco-system but also on the quality of future game dev. As there will be no active competition between all the studios MS owns.

Would make it the superior COD version
