    Another article mentioned that this guy is now working for Tencent (announced in 2022). Before becoming yet another Galactus in the industry, Tencent is originally an online service provider and (mostly) an ad company.

    What about barbarians trying to ruin the glorious video game empire now?

    Funny how this small detail doesn’t show up in that article, where he’s only “ex-Sony boss”.

      Tencent has been around for a decade, that’s past being “at the gate”

        Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix as we all know have only been around a few days.

          In gaming? Netflix is definitely at the gate with the current options they have. Apple as well with their Arcade service. Google and Amazon keep coming back but never stay long, I’m not even sure they should be in the conversation.

          Tencent has been in gaming for a long time now, they’ve owned Riot since 2011. They’ve had their hand in other gaming companies many times since then. They’re well past the gate, it’s not even in their rear view anymore.
