>Acquisition might be announced very soon, possibly this week or month >It's not an American studio but possibly an European or Japanese studio >The next company to be swooped up will be another company with internal issues and enormous IP offerings...Read into that what you will.
Not a single person leaked Microsoft buying Bethesda and Activision or Sony buying Bungie The only people with knowledge of these deals are need to know board level executives and shareholders, and they say nothing because they'd get raped by the FTC for insider trading if word got out
And its still less then Microsoft spent getting Activition
Adrian Torres
Konami is making record profits thanks to firing Kojimbo, axing the majority if their game develpment staff and keeping a barebones crew to make coomer gacha games. That and their pachinko machines
Jordan Hall
you say that like it's a good thing
Sebastian Collins
Sony buying studios is not a big deal desu, their exclusives always come to PC day 1 on Gamepass and sometimes even Switch (like Ori and Minecraft Dungeons) Sony are the bad guys
Tyler Walker
SONY JUST ACQUIRED PLAYSTATION
Mason Ward
Please don't let it be Konami. I don't want Snoy fucking up Yu-Gi-Oh anymore than it already is
>AAA studios getting merged into 1 piece of generic shit >Indie Renaissance era on the rise >normies now have containment devices >Indie bros chilling on GNU/Linux + Steam Great start to the decade.
>Sony says they are investing in GaaS >Buy Konmai and convert master duel into a hardcore P2W grindathon I would bleed out my eyes
Jaxon White
lol yeah right
Josiah Ramirez
Ubisoft and they win this generation. Any other company is a misstep.

I hope to god it's capcom
Joshua Sanders
Where were you in the early 2010s?
Jeremiah Bailey
Please be Square Enix. Ubisoft is pure ass now. They've completely ruined Assassin's Creed.
Jayden Bailey
Why is it all we've seen for two years is leaks about Sony buying companies yet all the actual acquisitions are never leaked and are never the studios the leaks mention?
Sebastian Russell
In 2010 I was 20 years old, dating a weeb chink and in college trying to make it as a med student. By 2016 I broke up with her, changed major to Computer Engineer, graduated some years later and now I work for an automobile robotics company. Why do you ask?
Luis Kelly
>companies blindly acquiring other companies without even making the games exclusive This current meta is so fucking stupid
Whyd you break up with her? Why did you switch careers from Medicine to Engineering?
Cameron Perez
Acquisitions are typically only known by higher ups in a company and their announcements are usually a complete surprise to most employees of the companies involved. These "leakers" are full of shit.
Grayson Thomas
>Whyd you break up with her? Asian chicks get more controlling the closer they get to 30. Mine started picking fights with me over dumb shit like buying myself headphones with my own money instead of buying her a pair. I'd rather not date at all, now that I graduated, most women are easy and desperate for someone in my field. Bitches are worst than jews when it comes to money. >Why did you switch careers from Medicine to Engineering? I saw period blood for a few years and decided that I could deal with people. Robots that build cars are chill as fuck. I'd rather work with them.
Joseph Roberts
How badly would they fuck up the physical card game
Zachary Rogers
>>The next company to be swooped up will be another company with internal issues and enormous IP offerings. Capcom.
Logan Gomez
It's going to be From and Capcom.
Cameron Cook
They'd add 'Multidimensional Travelers', AKA, an archtype centered around cameos from Playstation mascots. Expect for them to be a meta deck for a long time. MD Traveler Lombax can search any other MDT card, MD Traveling Father and Son can hand negate spells AND special summon themselves during opponent's turn, etc...
Jordan Lee
They are just gonna buy another shitty studio that barely make games.
>>The next company to be swooped up will be another company with internal issues and enormous IP offerings. Also outside IS jurisdiction and has made exclusives for them in the past.
Assuming this is even true, and I don’t believe it is because how would a literal who on Twitter know about Japanese business deals but no one in Japan does, it’d be either square enix or Konami. Probably square enix.
Jordan Ramirez
I swear if it's Bamco or FromSoftware I'm gonna fucking lose it..
>>Indie Renaissance era on the rise Citation needed. They all blend together trying to be quirky low res/no shader fuckfest.
Blake Perez
Pls don't be capcom
Luis Cook
Exclusivity is fucking GREAT! Some of the best selling games on Steam were made by Sony studios. Fuck PC users. Lock it all away on Sony systems like Nintendo does, then they would see some actual sales numbers.
They're going to grab and ruin Platinum, aren't they?
Brandon Robinson
Japan Studio wasn't profitable. You should have bought their games if you're still assmad about it.
Jack Gomez
Competition is great. Hopefully this means an arms race in games between MS and SONY
Connor Howard
This. These faggots bitch and moan when Sony or Disney do it but actively celebrate when Microsoft does it.
Zachary Allen
Ubisoft is not based, what is your definition of based?
Jackson Gutierrez
>FromSoft The absolute seething from PC onlies will be amazing
Jacob Evans
Not my fault sony allowed bloodborne and everybody's golf to flop
Lincoln Morales
It'd be strange, considering they are working on an Xbox exclusive right now.
Charles Scott
Imagine lacking this much self awareness
Connor Hill
they would 100% keep the games multiplat though, unless they do another sony x from collab but idk how they would do that when japan studios is dead
Adam Johnson
>they would 100% keep the games multiplat though No they wouldn't. They would release low quality ports later on PC with no support
Ryder Parker
Exclusives are good. They force companies to make good games so people will buy their machines. If they dont do that then no one will their console.
Ryder Green
They're working on a James Bond game.
Levi Howard
wtf are you on about sonys recent PC ports have shat all over their initial consoles releases in terms of quality, they actually put some effort into them
Chase Green
It's just gonna be some nobody studio/publisher in europe that Sony's gonna overpay for again.
They dont have competent people negotiating good prices for them so they're paying over the market like for Bungie again.
