Isn't Sony buying From Software? Let me put my idiot hat on for a second...

Looks like they're realising the value of quality game experiences and are pivoting away from live service!

If Sony wants to survive this video game "crash" they have to copy the Nintendo-Strategy.

The early one or the right now one

The early one, they can't skip building IP and a Brand based on Quality and jump directly to the Disney/Now Nintendo approach of suing everything.

Just had to be sure

Or they'll do Elden Ring 2 with GoW gameplay as a live service game because surely people just want a new but proven IP.

they were planning on buying fromsofts parent company kadokawa.

that deal fell flat and they instead 'just' bought 10% of kadokawas stock,
making them a top shareholder

Hmm. That sounds more like they're taking the posture of an activist investor. What's the endgame, you think?
