    Yeah I’m all for it!

    I still imagine nightmare scenarios:

    All is well until Microsoft or Embarrasser Group or whoever buys up every studio and getting blacklisted from one keeps you from being employed in all the studios owned by them.

      MS really shouldn’t have been allowed to buy Activision. That’s way too fucking big, especially right after Bethesda.

      That already happens, non-compete or no non-compete isn’t going to change that practice.

    The FTC are actually doing something useful? Good to see it happen.

      At least until party control changes again and it’s rolled back or decided to be unconstitutional by SCOUTS.
