this is honestly the most bizzare story in gaming ... first you have Sony that claims this acquisition will give MS an unfair advantage in cloud gaming yet they run all their cloud workloads on Azure, then you have the UK that agrees with Sony yet we all know they're just afraid that all the Activision players would leave their platform. And now people are acting like MS is the bad guy because what? they have money?

They both have money.

Using what one could only qualify as an utility from a competitor, does not make Sony any less right. Apple uses Google Cloud, Netflix runs on AWS.

Yes, because the platform is not Azure, is Windows and by extension, Xbox.

you really don't think a multi million dollar bill annually doesn't benefit MS ?! funny enough xbox runs a windows kernel
