    Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?

    Dude, you're not a leaker. You have no insider information. Post one thing you've ever leaked before. I've predicted a multitude of things and guess what I'm no leaker and also have no insider information. The fact that you don't realize that Nishino doesn't run the studio business is...

    Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say

    He lives in his own little world. Sony wants to flatten budgets, which involves becoming more efficient, minimizing scope of projects. So they'll look to cap team sizes and project lengths, salaries, benefits, perks, and use AI. If you look at greenhouse, they're still hiring the vast...

    Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say

    LOIs don't get generated out of thin air. Before you generate a letter of intent, there are informal and formal discussions. Terms are generated as part of the intent letter. Doesn't mean this can't fall through, but it's clear that this is pretty serious. The concerns here are someone...

    A professional journalist shouldn't be out there trolling companies and gamers... Jason is a complete clown.

    But you're your own source... you don't see how that's problematic? You're so close to going on the ignore list.

    Again, if you're so positive, why can't you tell us the basis for your thought process here? You even say "the next years" without giving a specific time frame. That's called hedging. Need higher quality posting than this.

    News Famitsu Sales: Week 46, 2024

    FF9 took the series back to classic roots and more of a classic animated look when it had just become popular for pushing the envelope in 3D graphics. FFX was a great game, but was pretty linear. FFXI was an MMORPG FFXII was another classic game, that just didn't really land FFXIII they...

    Playstation Cyberpunk 2077 currently has no plans for a PS5 Pro Patch

    The only thing you're right about here is how long it takes CDPR to get around to updating their games. They only recently released the FSR3 update on PC. It's been available for a year. My guess is they'll deliver a PS5 Pro patch by holiday season next year, but decisions like this is why...

    Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?

    Block under what basis? Can you find an example of an M&A similarly blocked in an industry? The ABK deal going through opened the door for pretty much any M&A in the gaming industry aside from maybe Sony or Microsoft buying Nintendo or Microsoft buying Valve, maybe Sony too. Edit: They also...

    Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?

    See, I'm not interesting in your prediciton as much as I'm interested or rather uninterested in the methodology behind your prediction. Anyone can predict anything. I could predict Disney and Sony will merge one day. The biggest question though is what is the basis for my prediction and...

    Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?

    The Paramount purchase was significantly more than Kadokawa and significantly more complex. They were looking to buy it with Apollo as opposed to just buying it themselves. That's a complexity. They were only interested in parts of the company. That's a complexity. The asking price was...

    Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?

    Firewalk was a start-up. Most start-ups fail. Everyone knows that except fanboys with agendas. There isn't much difference between buying a start-up and organically creating your own internal studio. You're paying a bit more, but getting something more fleshed out, so you're saving time, but...

    Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?

    There isn't really an argument for regulators to block Sony from buying T2. I think people just assume regulators will block all M&A, but that's simply not the case. First you have to look at foreclosure. Sony isn't likely to foreclose on PC anymore than Take2 already does by releasing on...

    Discussion PlayStation's co-CEO situation seems to be going really well

    I was a bit skeptical of Totoki's decision to name co-CEOs as I've worked in companies that have done co-CEOs and I've seen that in most cases it doesn't work well. That being said, it seems to be working really well so far. Only caveat being that obviously things are in early days, but I feel...

    This is a misnomer. You look at all of Sony's successful studios and they're all FAR more successful since becoming a part of Sony than they ever were before. Naughty Dog Insomniac Guerrilla Games Sucker Punch These studios are prime examples of what you can accomplish with Sony's backing.

    Discussion Is Fromsoftware the best purchase for Sony currently? If not, which developer takes the number 1 spot?

    It's not unrealistic, it's just more complicated. Sony has largely two options when it comes to T2. Option A. Raise as much money as you can within the next 5-10 years and try to do a cash offer, knowing that T2's value will continue to rise over the next 5-10 years. Option B. Do a mixed...

    Discussion Reuters: Sony in talks to buy media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring', sources say

    It was always very interesting that Sony labeled Bluepoint a support studio in their business update. The speed in which they could help FromSoftware get high quality games out would be tremendous. That's not even mentioning Nixxes. To do all the things they were doing before and supporting...
