That said we are the UK and run by a corrupt shower of shite so I imagine they probably could buy influence here very easily....
I will be honest I could not care less whether it went through or not, our society is run by huge companies, turning them into mega huge companies wouldn't really change things for us. It might make it a bit better being on xbox as it will all come to game pass but aside from that it will be the same shite. That said look how Microsoft have run their own studios recent years (I mean Halo feels like it's dead, Gears of War is struggling, though Fable is coming back they ruined that.
