They bought Bungie not that long ago.
This is where im at now. Sony waited too long and now all of tech can buy at their leisure because there is no reason to deny them after ABK went through. Sony has no intention of buying anybody larger than bungie. Theyd rather let sony pictures have all the funds.
Garbage! I don’t play Fortnite or that soccer cars game. Tencent owns 40% and would ask for a substantial premium. Epic doesn’t get me anything as a gamer.
Fortnite fills a void that has proved to be too difficult to fill. But yeah, it can’t happen without paying an exorbitant amount of money to Tencent.
All Sony has to "buy" is the right to have the 2024 holiday bundle with GTA VI. Much smarter and cheaper.
I don't want an acquisition war. I said it during ABK and the same now. Only where a company actually allows independence like Bungie gets will I accept. Cheering the actual removal of established IP on competing platforms isn't for me. Fuck that.
Then what happens when say netflix or google buys take 2? Do you see how vulnerable sony is by not owning IP that makes them popular?
Do you even know what IPs made PS popular lmao. Remember that Japanese games were actually what made PS1 and PS2 a dominant force, not some online trash like current COD or GTA online. Different time, different circumstance, things change all the time. Some of you here overestimate people’s willingness to change platform, these dedicated platform gamers will find a substitute first before they actually migrate.
Epic is a mess, losing money through the nose and Tencent own a huge amount of the company.
I'm very curious to see what they will do...who they will go for. It should reveal a lot.
I mean, maybe Epic is laying people off to get ready for an acquisition...it's possible.

And to all wondering why they have waited, it’s because that was the smart strategy while waiting to see if MS would be stopped by regulators. Sony buying anyone big during that time would have been leverage for MS to have an easier time.
Also, the FTC is still fighting the Activision deal.
Yep, the idea that Sony are taking "too long" is really stupid and gets repeated on this forum daily unfortunately.
