Known as the inventor of the Walkman

Yeah, that’s what everyone knows Sony for. Especially nowadays.

This should be illegal. They own Crunchyroll and bought Funimation, both massive distributers of anime outside of Japan.

Now they want Kadokawa, the source that is inside Japan.

Also, after their Concord blunder I didn’t know they could even afford to buy Kadokawa.

Letting Sony go through with any additional aquisitions will further enshitify the gaming market

Given their tight hold on demon souls and blood Bourne I’m not completely shocked but far from happy.

This is what happens when an American monopoly giant tries to “spend sony out of the business”. Acquisition wars are bad for consumer. Hell, anything MS does is bad for the consumer. Now we have sony playing defence to make sure they don’t get excluded from yet another franchise via dumping.

And yes, what MS is doing with GP is dumping.

If this deal doesn’t fall through a fairly large swath of culture is just going to suffer, not just fromsoft.
