@snesnes3664 maybe. I wonder if Nintendo itself would be as strong today with their Nintendo Switch, if Sega was still in the Console business and keeping games off the switch for example
It's more like: Lina Khan DOESN'T believe that US Consumers know what they want....So she believes, she HAS to decide for us. 😊 #DarkAgenda Aww, she's so adorable. 😆
if the FTV doesn't count Nintendo as a competition to Sony and Xbox then Sony has a Monopoly in Japan and btw they are the ones that are locking PC gamers away from their games and then u got Tencent whyo own 50% of the gaming market while the other 50% is split between MS Sony and few others
If the FTC was really worried about the consumer how about start stepping up to the plate on the gasoline issue, the electricity issue. We don't have many options there do we? Isnt that what their purpose is. Protect consumers from monopolies? Those folks are sweating out social media companies!!! Wtf is really going on?
Lina Khan is FOR free and fair competition and AGAINST monopolistic and oligopolistic policies and structure. Is that BAD for consumers? Or Jim it is bad for you and your Corp overloads?
This is my first time actually researching someone as obscure as Commissioner of the FTC and then reading comments on a platform like this. If you actually hear Lina Khan speak she is clear to the point and actually answers very well when she is allowed. Reading these comments disgusts me.
"Joe the corporate shill and Gym Jordan (who is FINALLY going to get his just due in the OSU wrestling sexual abuse law suit) spew big business propaganda" would be a more apt title. Gym "Shouty Boi" Jordan thinks yelling out words means you have a point to make.
This is actually the first time Jim is right about something. Microsoft is the smallest business in first party gaming development, not the biggest. Sony and Nintendo are the biggest, and they're the ones the FTC is defending.
@@TheMahayanist As Microsoft extends its $69 billion Activision merger, it’s ‘confident about our prospects for getting this deal across the finish line’" sony has a 115 billion dollar market cap. nintendo has a 54 billion dollar market cap.
Sonys and ms need to be broken up their not good for consumers and this market hasn’t been good since they kicked their rivals out of the industry but yeah this decision to go after this is reviewed by some poor lady that doesn’t know what she’s looking at it’s not her fault your older you don’t pay attention to pop culture just how it is perhaps if the appeal goes through we will see better more substantial decisions from both ends
Companies don’t want to invest in a console sir look at google look at Amazon the only company that can take Microsoft and Sony out is a Chinese company that has the backing of the government so it sounds like you want them to have complete control of the market
We need mergers that create better competition. Xbox needed this. Sonys advantage led to 8:1 exclusive in favor of PlayStation. Hopefully this will allow Xbox to close the gap.
@@bretttheillustrator for gaming but this clown supports a bunch of other mergers that did nothing for the consumer and eliminated competition. We don’t have competition in MANY sectors of this country.
@@ktdagoat1289 mergers that tighten competition always hurt. Even if it doesn't evolve into a monopoly but less competition means higher prices. Always.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan and members of Congress who have recently proposed several pieces of antitrust legislation. In the interest Lina Khan is abandoning the four-decade-old consumer welfare standard for antitrust enforcement and reverting to an ad hoc subjective regime risk creating uncertainty, stifling innovation, and slowing economic growth.
some of the stores owned by krogers; safeway, albertsons, and below just some of the other stores; Baker’s City Market Dillons Food 4 Less Foods Co Fred Meyer Fry’s Gerbes Jay C Food Store King Soopers Kroger Mariano’s Metro Market Pay-Less Super Markets Pick’n Save QFC Ralphs Ruler Smith’s Food and Drug you want more of this? you wonder why food prices are high? can you make a guess from the above? yeah, no competition. Kroger operates 2,720 grocery retail stores under its various banners and divisions in 35 states and the District of Columbia with store formats that include 134 multi-department stores, 2,277 combo stores, 188 marketplace stores, and 121 price-impact warehouse stores.

@@teebone2157 Because he is smart .. there arn't ANY democrats on CNBC because its a technology busness new outlet, good luck with your goverment agencyies trying to stop progress in the age of AI
Companies merging does not help the consumer. It kills competition and drives up prices. Competition is what keeps prices low. I agree with Jordan on a lot of things but NOT here. The only thing mergers benefit are shareholders of which he might be one of them given that congress has a crappy record with insider trading.
Hahahaha What a joke. The fact is this merging bring more game to different plaform and yet Sony has monopoling market by making exclusive . I bet you criticize Sony's exclusive strategy . So save it now
