Who cares if Tencent invest in companiesThey invest small money years before the companies get big. They are not burning anything. Sony already has these relationships, they fund the games but they don't invest beyong the actual game. Tencent gets all the rewards with no risk.
Fortnite is big on PS but Tencent makes more profit. They paid 330 millions for 40% of Epic while Sony paid 2 billions for 4.9%
They also lost Marvel and Spider-Man when they were cheap as fuck. Rocket League, Fall Guys and many more.
Tencent could get Arrowhead and Square tomorrow and nobody would be shocked.
Agreed. Sony seems really tight with there money. I mean Tencent is loaded but Sony isnt exactly poor, they miss there chances alot with buying/investing in publishers and studios.And yet Tencent had enough money to invest in Epic, Larian, From and Shift Up way before Sony ever did and now they're raking billions from small investments. Sony have a console and they even fund and publish some of these games
Tencent makes more money than them as the publisher. This is clown world for Sony.
Invest in the likes Capcom, Namco, Take2, Sega, Epic, FromSoft more. They dont have to buy them, but they can certainly afford to invest to acquire 10% of them at least. Which would give them more profits.
They literally are number 1 in video games, start acting like it before it really is too late. They’ve cancelled alot of games, which should make them understand not all there games are gonna be hits like Ghosts of Tsushima, Spiderman or Horizon 1
Lets hope we see the fruits of there afforts soon.
Im mostly a singple player gamer, and I hope they always carry that on, Im sure they will. But Im also all for them trying Gaas and mobile to improve there profits. They need it to carry on stronger.
Yes.
As they did with GaaS or PC ports, mobile games or adaptations won't be made by the people who makes their non-GaaS SP games. Mobile games will be handled instead by different teams of experts in this area they will hire, partner with or acquire.
In case of GaaS or PC ports, they acquired Bungie, Haven, Firewalk (originally these 2 were only 2nd party partners but should be particularly promising if acquired), Bungie or Nixxes, hired GaaS experts for their MP teams in San Diego, Polyphony, Guerrilla, ND or London while they kept doing their SP stuff. And also partnered with Deviation or Arrowhead. As normal some games succeded, others didn't work out, others are in the works.
They are preparing a similar thing for mobile: are partering with top tier experts (Tencent, Netease, NC Soft, MiHoyo, Shift Up etc), acquiring (Neon Koi), hiring people to create some internal mobile gaming teams with mobile gaming experts, maybe inside existing 1st party teams or in new studios.
Non-GaaS SP games teams will continue doing their console games as before. They also grew their investment there and plan to continue doing so minimum for the next couple fiscal years.
You realise they have multiple successful mobile games, and the director used to design characters for ps2 games way back.
Why did you purposefully ignore the part about multiple successful mobile games?
You know even Sony's most profitable game is a mobile game called Fate/Grand Order.
To point out how long his been in the industry, his a respected and famous artist in Korea.
It's not really hard to deduce
