It's a shame cause this probably means blizzard will crash and burn, but I do get why they made this choice. Gaming industry is like an oligopoly by itself already, there's like what, 3 big publishers or something?

Shitty ones at that. The newest one is absolute trash compared to the older ones like Black Flag.

If the merger is denied in the UK, the 2 companies would have trouble continuing business in the country if they merged anyway.
Of course if they feel the deal is more important than the UK market...

Nobody owns an xbox and all actiblizzard games are on pc anyway.

What a naïve comment. Obviously you don't know much about the gaming industry. Xbox is a powerful gaming console with a huge fan base. And many of the most popular games are developed by Activision Blizzard, who do release some of their titles on PC, but also have exclusive games for Xbox. So please, do your homework before spouting off.
