If it had been an acquisition, I wouldn’t have given it much thought. Maybe a pause, if I read some of the comments here about IronSource’s reputation.

A MERGER sends an entirely different message. Two messages. One, that unity is in dire straights, and two, that they’ve lost their sense of direction completely, given who they merged with.

Absolutely. A merger is terrifying. Who makes the calls now on what teams get resources, what features get prioritized, etc?

[Rapzid]

There is no such thing as a merger.

And TIL ‘dire straits’ is the correct usage, not a stylization by the band like I always thought. Like waterways.
