Man stop bitching, we're talking about the video content that Bryan shared and when things aren't going towards your mental ideology you snap and start calling names.
I don't give a damn about anything "going against my ideology" because I could care less. But the constant derailing gets old, but you always welcome the topic. My response to the video posted isn't some retaliation that woke is the way, but moreseo rolling my eyes at you buffoons' that obsess over it. I am not a fan of DEI pandering either, but you'd never catch me making my personality about it.

Bro we are in a ACQUISITION thread and some folks are hollering DEI woke bs. Nobody brings this shit up expect for you weirdos. Ironically it's their favorite topic despite supposedly hating it. If this deal closes and the only thing you take from it is that FROM will turn woke.... go touch grass.

Anyway, Sony will buy Kadokawa, and FROM will be placed under SIE. They will become PS/PC only devs from their next game onwards, same goes for Acquire and Spike Chunsoft. Kadokawa is likely to take the deal considering they have publicly talked about it and got to the point where a LOI was written.
I think Nintendo can ask the Japanese government to block the acquisition if they feel it will be harmful to Nintendo ie. if for example Spike Chunsoft becomes part of SIE.

It's the incel grift of gaming. Unfortunately gaming has always had a huge nasty subset of crazies in the community.
Gaming is based around the concept of Escapism.

Just look at all those Online-Gaming Communities, and the people spending 16 hours a day in them, over-consuming and coping.

Some people are so unhealthly overinvested into their games, it is hilarious...

This dude fell off big time since he got exposed. TBH forgot about them almost a whole year ago.



Show me the DEI in Astro Bot and GT7...

You can make your Dualsense jet controller any color of the rainbow 🌈, darn Asobi and their DEI 😼.

that poster is obsessed with DEI / Trans tho, as are most of these weirdos who go out of their way at times looking for these things..

Isn't Sony a protected entity by the Japanese government where Nintendo isn't really? 🤔

Protected from purchase by a foreign company, maybe. Thats not what this is talking about though.

Regardless, this clearly isn't much concentration in the games industry, Nintendo wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Maybe anime people sue, I dunno, I am not at all familiar with that side of things.

Got it!

I don't think anime people could sue seeing FROM isn't even close to being the biggest anime house over there.

I think that it will now be thoroughly investigated whether Sony will have a monopoly in the anime industry


This article is from 2021 when Sony announced that it was buying Crunchyroll

99% of Japan is nintendo. there is no one blocking this deal in japan.
If Sony really buys Kadokawa then Nintendo fanboys will cry a lot because their favorite company is losing important studios that Nintendo cooperates with

Aren't there rumors about From games going to Switch 2?

Wonder if that's real and would still happen...
