No, Activision is like 70x as large as what FromSoft is worth

It is comical how MS acquired both Zenimax and Activision, both of which are orders of magnitude larger than FromSoft and these goons didn’t bat an eye

Now they are all crying about a small 400 person studio making Sony a monopoly?

Just comedy
Truth. People trying to equate this potential buy to Zenimax or Activision, are being totally dishonest. Man, the western media never strays off script.

It's specially obvious when a new gen is about to start how Xbox is always supposedly about to have this huge comeback and Sony is doing everything wrong. Even sales projections are usually really optimistic towards the north american company and not Nintendo or Sony. Imagine that.

I hope it doesn't happen, I don't trust the current Sony to manage Fromsoftware properly, especially Hulst and his crew of merry men, wouldn't be surprised if they try to turn them into a GAAS studio, would have been interesting if it happened when the console wars were at it's peak but now? Hell no.
 
They would be celebrating if MS were buying Kadokawa.
Never got cheering for either. MS buying zenimax and Activision was shit, conically for themselves as well. Sony buying kodokawa, and in turn, Fromsoft benefits only Sony. Ps owners will still get the same game, it is just that Xbox and pc players might never get or will have to wait for games that they would have otherwise gotten.
Elden Ring 2 is the game they want to make and are making. There’s absolutely no reason they wouldn’t be. Elden Ring sold rocket fuel numbers. Are we really going to credit Sony with Elden Ring II?
We really shouldn't. Same with ms and cod. Both got fame and popularity when they were independent.
Why couldn't it be both?
Looking at info from other people, you are probably right. It seems to be both, Sony recently even supported Fromsoft to get elden ring license from bandai.
O RLY. Just look at the opening cinematic. Polyphony Digital really love cars. Like reeeaally. GT7 is a great racing game, but I think it's quite obvious PD love cars, like in a pansexual way. Yes, I'm implying they literally fuck cars.
As someone who loves gt7, you are not wrong. Gt community( gtplanet, subreddit, etc), usually call gt7 as car porn. They aren't wrong, but yeah, I wouldn't be suprised if PD does fuck cars.

I am a big proponent in pushing back against the DEI and cultural Marxism lunacy, but this ain't it.

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

One again, "woke," this is not.

Played the OG with plat through and through as well as the remake. Was a non issue for me. The voice actor is the same. Which is *gasp* a white guy.
