    I have a feeling their intention here is less about acquiring FromSoftware and more about getting those anime production houses so they can continue to monopolize the industry. FromSoftware would be a happy accident.

    FromSoft’s games have been on my ‘I will buy anything they release’ list for quite some time, and I’ve never been disappointed with one. There’s not much at this point that would get me to stop buying their stuff on release, but a PlayStation account sign-in requirement on PC would definitely accomplish it.

      It’s Blizzard all over again. It’s just so tiring with everything going to shit.

      PlayStation account sign-in requirement on PC

      I think you’re not seeing your situation clearly here. There’s a big chance their games will become PlayStation exclusives like Bloodborne. Might be ported to PC after a few years.

    Haha man this is why I keep taking longer and longer breaks from gaming. Other hobbies are far more fun now than whatever this (gestures vaguely) is.

      Same. Dark souls, bloodborne, sekiro, and elden ring are my favorite games of all time. Rest of the world is going to shit. Seems like we just can’t have nice things.

          Is that what everyone is worried about? I’m more worried about the IPs getting turned into something bland or botched releases due to overly aggressive deadlines. Examples being bioware, bungie, infinity ward, and obsidian which were all acquired by larger companies and as a result turned into “meat grinders” responsible only for churning out titles to feed their parent companies.

    Gross. Sony’s stance on PC ports is shit. Massively delayed releases, still at full price, mandatory PS logins. Gross :/

    I wish Sony would just back off. It’s clear that they’re willing to drag their studios through mud to push PSN and other stupid requirements, and I hope any new studios they try to acquire will be paying attention to that.
