Very nice, especially with space being so expensive in Japanese cities.

They deserve it though.

Is this all investment from Kadokawa or were Tencent and Sony involved in some way?
Doubt Sony but who knows. I know they both have shares invested but I doubt it.

Classy.

Why am I not surprised that the gaming company with cubicles turns out to be one of the most productive ones?

I hope they made room for some extra interns to improve their tech.

Probably the fact Elden Ring sold 20 million in a year. Might be closer to 30 million by now

From was just the developer tho neither from nor kodakawa own the re keen ring ip. I’m sure they both did well off of it and made some pretty good profit but Bandai owns the ip and probably making a good chuck. I’m not sure now the profit is shared between Kodakawa, From, Bandai, Tencent, Sony. From needs to go in another direct. With tencent and especially Sony backing they don’t need Bandai. Kodakawa also has very limited resources compared to Sony and from would be better off leaning into that relationship.

Tencent and Sony just bought some stocks, Kadokawa is the owner who pays the stuff (with the money they earnt from Elden Ring, more than enough to buy a nice office).

Yes we are all familiar with the acquisition of stocks by Sony and Tencent hence his initial comment.
