    This will have impacts, I just don’t think it’ll be as bad as everyone is thinking. Corporate Japan can be equally hands on and hands off. Fromsoft may be allowed to keep on chugging because they make money.

    I don’t want more PSN and region censoring. Who asked for this shit?

    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.

      With CrunchyRoll’s acquisition Sony basically monopolized anime streaming in the west. This would only add to that

      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.

    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.
