As 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a new report that Sony may buy 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa Corporation, circulates, former Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra says "it's probably a top 2 acquisition in video gaming in the last 15+ years if not ever". The only other deal as good he can think of is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft buying 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft for "only" $2.5 billion.
to Kadokawa Corporation, which owns 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark Souls and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware as well as other entertainment properties such as the Delicious in Dungeon anime. The move would certainly make sense for Sony, which is already in the broader entertainment marke♒t, not j🐈ust video games specifically.
Ybarra speaks highly of FromSoftware: "FromSoftware is incredible - releasing games on an accelerated pace that are 🐈AAA and epic. The track record is fantastic." FromSoftware has become my favorite developer in recent years for this exact reason. There's no studio that consistently puts out artistic, game-of-the-year-worthy hits.
If Sony does purchase FromSoftware, it's probably a top 2 acquisition in video gaming in the last 15+ years if not ever (the other being Minecraft to Microsoft for only $2.5B). FromSoftware is incredible - releasing games on an accelerated pace that are AAA and epic. The track&hellip꧑;
Ybarra continues, "The only thing bigger would be [Sony] buying Valve or Nintendo. And I don't see either of those happening in any scenario." That seems a touch hyperbolic, as there are many juggernauts at the moment that would likely rival FromSoftware in terms of sheer output, such as EA or Ubisoft.
Ybarra says these are "Exciting times", but I'm not a fan of mergers and acquisitions myself, as they seem to always lead to layoffs. Following 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's buyout of Activision Blizzard, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:2,500 people were let go from Microsoft Gaming this year alone.
The only positive I could see coming from this is a Bloodborne remake, as Sony actually owns the rights to the gothic action RPG, n🍨ot FromSoftware. The poor game, one of my all-time favorites, has been stuck on the PS4 at a measly 30 frames per second, since 2015, and it's high time we at least got a PS5 60fps patch.
