Seems like corporate FUD but still important if corporate FUD is being used.

Better title: Kadokawa employees are reportedly "optimistic" about the takeover. Subtitle: Kadokawa owns FromSoftware

Kadokawa suffered a ransomware cyberattack earlier this year, but employees were left disappointed by the response from current president and CEO Takeshi Natsuno.

As a result, employees are said to be "thrilled at the prospect of an acquisition by Sony", according to a new report from Japanese outlet Bunshun (via Automaton).

HAAHAHAHA, Oh The Onion, you guys are... It's not The Onion... (for anyone that doesn't get it, PSN has been hacked a couple of times)

Anyway, the "thrill" comes from the expectation that the current Kadokawa leadership will get the boot from the acquisition.
