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

[Cool hand luke]

So much of the media/influencers CRAVE console wars. There is massive fear in the air that we're reaching the end times on the console wars. You don't see any of that on PC. If console just becomes "PlayStation" a lot of these guys are SOL.

It's why it's so interesting listening to doomers. Sony hasn't been in a stronger position in gaming since the PS2 era. We're talking 20 year highs right now.

They'll be able to fuel warring between Sony's upcoming PC launcher and Steam, and the Sony and Nintendo handhelds.

A lot of people are calling him out.

It's just another astroturfing campaign, pushed by that shitstain of a company.

Don't care about From Software (Spike Chunsoft is more interesting to me) but this will bolster Sony's japanese output significantly. I hope this deal goes through just for the tears and meltdowns, lol.

Kadokawa also has Acquire (Octopath Traveller, Mario & Luigi Brothership), which I think is more important than Spike Chunsoft (but not than FromSoft).

On top of them Kadokawa also has more teams, but mostly mobile or Japan only smaller stuff.

I know. I'm just more interested in Spike.
