Given that S-E is already a global publisher, what benefit do they get from having Sony publish it? Especially for their biggest titles, which practically sell themselves?
Sony may have acquired Ballistic Moon - Rumor
- Thread starter Bryank75
- Start date
Deviation seems like a good get, and hopefully their games are successful.
But their hiring spree has kind of ended now, as Jason (one of the Founder) left, and they hired a lot of key people, but also some other have left, and they have been stagnant in hiring now. Hopefully it will change soon.

Says here that Ballistic Moon's parent company is Sony.... I guess that adds to the credibility.
Looks like the status has now changed to private company.
Depending on how the deal was structured, they could be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony and still be considered a private company.
Or Sony requested them to remove that data since the acquisition hasn't been announced. I don't know if that would be possible?
Bigger budgets and specially for marketing, and being able to delegate to Sony all the work/costs related to marketing, publishing, localization, PR, CM, CS, etc. plus having accesss to user, tech, knowledge and market data that only their first party teams have.
The thing is that Square Enix has some business where Sony isn't interested like mangas, nfts, arcade games and arcade facilities or merchandise. I assume Sony would want to skip them, but they also could somehow integrate them.
Good. Now let's get back to making optionally co-op, story horror, at the levels of pollish of Until Dawn again, after something like a 7 year getting lost in the forrest by whomever was handling the map and compass in their relationship.
Ohh... Although I did break the r key on a different keyboard earlier today, that's just cause I can't spell lol
I don't know why people assume Sony doesn't have a use for Gangan. They own an anime company, they own a manga company. They have a finger in that pie. Its the arcade stuff that is the stickler to me, everything else fits inside of Sony as it currently exists.
Sony is interested on anime, but as far as I remember they aren't interested in mangas or magazines.
But well, in any case since they have that deal with Kadokawa. So Sony could keep for Sony the IPs and anime part and give Kadokawa the mangas part.
Regarding arcade games and arcade facilities I assume they could sell them to someone else interested on this, like Bandai Namco or Capcom.
Is there a way to type in other companies aligned with sony on that website? Like deviation or arrowhead?
That website is far from reliable

They just pick rumors from internet most of the times. At one point they listed Square as being owned by Sony
How long ago was that? The way square is behaving (zero xbox games announced for 2023 and beyond) I think there is something going on behind the scenes.That website is far from reliable

Around when the rumors started with Kinda Funny.
After nothing happened. They removed it.
Ah, im of the opinion where thers smoke, theres fire. Not saying sony bought the whole company but maybe a large investment under the table waiting for this activsion deal to settle before a formal announcement.
