I do love gaming just getting bought out by the same 4 shitty companies.

The live music industry would be so happy about such an abundance of competition

Oh, it's not just gaming

Fuck off Sony

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 4 weeks ago

Well, Fromsoft had a good run.

Maybe we'll get one more game out of them.

Oh, great, more exclusives to cement Sony dominance.

[–] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, and I'm still never buying a Playstation. Not worth chasing exclusives when there are plenty of good games on PC.

Anything Sony is burned forever to me since they pulled that Rootkit shit a few decades ago.

Feels like everything from Japan either belongs to Sony or Kadokawa already. If this goes through, Sony will will pretty much own everything made in Japan. Not just Elden Ring, but all sorts of stuff from Rpg Maker to a ton of anime.

If Sony buys Kadokawa Corporation. Sony will have a near stranglehold on so many industries. It's insane. https://en.namu.wiki/w/KADOKAWA

Got it. Rykard (Sony) Lord of Blasphemy is trying to devour Godwin (Kadokawa) Scion of the Golden Lineage. It's even lore accurate, let's hope it stops before the Night of Black Knives.
