A new report claims that Sony is looking to acquire FromSoftware's parent company Kadokawa Corporation, but that could be uncomfortable news for manga fans. A report emerged today that says Sony is apparently having "ongoing" talks with Kadokawa regarding the tech company's acquisition of owner FromSoftware. Obviously, on the gaming side, consolidation is always bad,
This may have been my thought.
I was never so deeply in favor of the acquisition, but I did find the focus on exclusives hypocritical. Microsoft had already made many of their games available cross platform, while Sony had not at the time.
I don’t find that hypocritical. My issue with acquisitions is that it makes multiplatform games potentially exclusive.
Franchises they built and invested in should be exclusive. Franchises they hoard with no additional resources should remain multiplatform.
