Gamers Apologize to Former FTC Chair Lina Khan Following Xbox's Implosion She Predicted

128,704 views Oct 9, 2025 #XboxGamePass #Xbox #HumanistReport

Lina Khan, the FTC Chair under the Biden Administration, is getting apologies from gamers online after she was proven right about Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. As FTC Chair, she warned it would lead to price hikes and harm developers. Years later, she was proven correct, as Microsoft just raised the price of their Xbox subscription service by 50% after laying off thousands of employees. In this video we’ll discuss why anti-trust is so important and how capitalism is killing gaming.

Good, and I miss her.
