Good! There is no sane reason to allow Microsoft to own one more company and just become bigger in another market.

It has nothing to do with their core business (which is quite diverse to be fair), and as an end consumer, on average, this would just cause harm long term, considering consoles and gaming market in general.

One example: Call of Duty. Might not be important for many people, but having CoD become unavailable on the most popular console, just because someone had huge amounts of money and bought a $69B dollar company doesn't sound fair and would be a net loss for the industry.

It would still be available for at least 10 years even if the deal went through.
