Excuse me, what? I guess my social bubble is thick as fuck, because I didn't see a single person supporting that megacorp scale merger.
Feels like a load of bullshit, then again I don't even know where the cool kids hang out, so it could be me.
I guess this is why I didn't buy into the previous paragraphs, I just assumed people were "too smart" to fall for so much corporate bullshit.
3 trillion with roughly 20k employees now. I wonder how much of that value is assigned to its workforce, like "of the 3 trillion our company's worth, our workers are worth 100 billion" or something.
There was definitely a lot of support for this merger - people see it as ABK's "redemption arc", and there was a lot of excitement around ABK games coming to GamePass / other platforms like Steam because of this.
Ultimately this is how people think: What is in the merger for them? And they don't think macro, but just simple things like "now I can finally get this game on [platform]"
