Would you be sad if Sony buys a major japanese gaming studio?



Analysts say it is unlikely that a Japanese publisher will ever be bought by a foreign entity as they too proud of their work to be foreign owned and could have major changes to their games that caters to western audiences and now they say Sony is one likely to be bought out by a studio and is in final talks to buy one of the major studios.

Sources say Sony is close to acquiring one major publisher and will face a huge challenge against Microsoft after their acquisition of Activision-Blizzard which is now turning into a studio war on who will get the best games as independence is no longer safe

Would you be sad if Sony buys a big Japanese studio?

No, Nintendo hasn't made anything lewder. They just don't censor other devs.

I googled this and found nothing on this. I only found articles talking about Sony being more likely to buy a Japanese company than Microsoft which is pretty obvious. I doubt Japan would want to sell companies to an American company

Well there's also the fact that japanese law doesn't really like it as well.

The people that threw away Days Gone because it didn't review well or sell as much as TLOU despite selling millions? You know they'll just milk RE, SF, and MH and forget about the rest.

This.

But also, it's totally going to be Capcom, and I'll be real real sad to see franchises like Ace Attorney and Mega Man get buried for good.

They've been censoring Japanese developers a ton while letting their western devs put in full on sex scenes in their games.

Not sure if that's a result of their move to California and their western influences in the company now but it sounds really hypocritical to do that.

'Sources' have never leaked these gaming acquisitions right before they happen.

At most we get a public report that a company is interested in buying.

If Microsoft buys a studio, there is a chance the games will continue to be multi-platform.

If Sony buys a studio, all those games are PS-exclusive.

If good franchises are revived (Activision and Konami are perfect for this) this is not true.

The 'acquisition race' has gradually been building up for decades. This was always going to be inevitable.

If Sony does end up buying a publisher they would have always ended up buying one. They bought Psygnosis back in the 90s after all.
