    Discussion Kadokawa stocks have risen $1.1B in the last 5 days

    Kadakawa is an extremely niche specific company that apparently only other Japanese companies can buy. Most other companies dont want to sell Japanese school books and niche manga and anime. Most of us wouldnt even know this company exists if not for them owning fromsoftware. Sony happens to...

    From Xboxera: " Sparda3g 1d I am a bit glad the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative on this regard. If one would want to compare and contrast, then we can look over it. Bethesda purchase was for the sake of helping the business, especially when Zenimax has been all on live service aka...

    If it’s true That kadokawa sought Sony to fend off foreign investment, it means they WANT it to be known as a heads up: Not Available to you.

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

    If it’s true that kadokawa came to Sony, I wonder if the idea that they’d have to pay a premium isn’t as relevant as people think? Like if maybe this a 3.5- 4 billion dollar deal, if that? Getting from software, who also allegedly owns the Elden ring, sekiro, armored core, and like half the...

    Good point. I feel like sony is kind of boxed out in movie side of things seeing as how there are not that many mid sized movie studios left. Maybe WB sells off assets? But other than some unicorn event, i would assume most of Sony's M &A budget will be for gaming and back catalogs of musicians?

    In a way, maybe concord flopping the way it did will be good for sony? I still think they should make a play for Squar enix. Maybe go after some konami IP if they are willing to play ball?

    I feel like SE seems like an obvious choice for them. Wonder if the new CEO's multiplatfrom push has given them pause? Or hes pushing so strong because a deal fell through?

    1.8 Trillion yen budget until (or through) 2027 is only around 11 billion dollars USD, which isnt alot to be honest. Say this is 4-5 billion. Thats a big chuck of budget gone already with like 3 years to go.

    Id say it would be a good start, but one AAA team and a few smaller ones isnt enough for that region IMO.

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

    Kadokawa is probably worth 5 billion tops. Yes fromsoftware is the big get for gaming, but that comes with alot of baggage unless your a Japanese company interested in Anime...What im trying to say is that whatver value someone could put on Kadokawa as a whole isnt their true value because its...

    Saw this on 4chan: “from /a/ >Japanese people believe Kadokawa asked Sony for help after South Korea's Kakao Corporation continued to aggressively buy more company shares. Kadokawa was in danger of becoming a Korean company”

    This is how i feel. Prior to this gen i wouldve been ok with it but with sonys obsession with DEI i have no interest in them buying anyone now. Even MS of all companies dropped their DEI Department.
