I like Tekken and Tales but little else from Namco

I won't particularly miss them if they never make anything for PC

This weird trend of console developers buying every fucking game developer this last year and a half or so is incredibly fucking upsetting.

Sony should just buy up all the worst aspects of the industry and act as a quarantine.
They can have their interactive movies and overpriced experiences and let the rest of the industry be about video games.

Blame Microsoft and their shitty money dick waiving greed. Couldn't beat Sony fairly and felt the need to buy their way to the top spot.

Microsoft is fucking awful and I hope Sony and Nintendo stick it to their money grabbing ways.

It's not Microsoft's fault. They were 100% right in doing what they did in response to facing the death of their consoles.

PC gaming has forced both Microsoft and Sony to make these decisions.

Bandai published all of their games in the US except for Sekiro, right? i know they're publishing Elden Ring.

I do think Namco co-owns the Dark Souls IP though. And maybe Elden Ring too?

How about building studios from the ground up like Sony and Nintendo instead of just buying major 3rd party studios.

If you think that's "fair" then no one should bitch about Sony buying these publishers.

The irony being consoles have ignored PC gaming for so long, now it seems like it's the only way for them to keep making money.

Fairness just doesn't make any sense when applied to this subject matter at all. What I care about is what's good for the consumer.

What makes you think Microsoft started this and that Sony haven't been doing it for ages as well?

Yeah because caring about gaming is a little too ridiculous on a website called GAMEFAQS.
