has there ever been a case of two companies merging and it resulting in actually better products from them?

squaresoft and enix merged and now their games don't seem to hold up to their classics

hp and compaq merged and now nothing they make is anywhere near as good as it used to be

keithley and tektronix merged and now they... basically just make the same stuff as before at the same quality so i guess that's the closest to an improvement

@Felthry Again, capitalism spoiling otherwise fun concepts like merging
