I really hope Ms gets activation, for switch it means same day releases on all activation games.

I will never understand gamers wanting all the game devs and publishers to be owned by 2 or 3 large corporations but ok.

It's mainly because I'm a switch player, MS and Nintendo made a deal that would give switch players same-day release as xbox activation games. And all xbox activision games would also be ported to switch. They pitched the deal to Sony as well, but Sony wasn't having it.

And I still think it's a bad idea. Short term benefit for long term problems, it's the same issue as with most publicly traded companies nowadays. This helps now so I don't care how bad it gets later I want fun now.
