Microsoft x Activision | Lawyer Reads ”Gamers” Lawsuit (plus CMA Comments!) (VL756 - RECORDED LIVE)

Microsoft x Activision may well prove the longest playlist on this channel, as the news simply won't stop.

After the US Federal Trade Commission elected to sue to (try to) stop the deal, seemingly all of the "takes" have come out.

Including, now, a new lawsuit from...Playstation players?

Things just keep getting sillier and sillier.

Let's talk about it...LIVE.
