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

[Kokoloko]

ShiftUp had become pretty expensive after the success of Stellar Blade. They have currently a market cap of 2-3B Dollar. That's nearly as much as Kadokawa. Not worth it, staying partners is probably cheaper if Sony just publishes their games. Imo if Sony should look for Korean companies then I would believe one of those: NeoWiz, Pearl Abyss or NCSoft. All make great games and would be vastly cheaper in comparison to ShiftUp.

2-3 billion. Jeez.
Yeah theres alot more cheaper studios to get

EA. just for FIFA alone.

Do what you have to do @Bryank75

Just try to avoid name-calling or anything like that, we don't want to ban anyone.

I don't do the banning.

Yeah, probably. Square has nice IP but its all very dated and full of strings and caveats, plus people seem less into it these days. Their games just don't seem to be turning profits either so ehh. Its probably FromSoftt.

Go get the studio whos having trouble

Option 1

Get Quantic Dream

Have a long history with sony. Plenty amazing game that i have played like fahtenheit, heavy rain, beyond two souls, detroit becomes human

Their upcoming project star wars eclipse are having development trouble

With sony financial back up they can make it

Option 2

Get Ready at Dawn

The Order 1886 is a game with mixed reception but has potential for sequel

Option 3

Get Konami

Sony has long outstanding history with Metal Gear Solid. The series has been dormant for awhile. With new partnership and sony funding we can revive the mgs game. Konami also has other ip like Castlevania.

Option 4

Built an entirely new studio. Start new.
