Sony needs to buy em while they're cheap. They company is self owned and dont want to sell out, but if they can't survive, Sony is it because they'd get full control of their games while having a huge budget.

I think the GOG storefront on pc would be a good incentive, i think microsoft and sony are playing chicken right now with the CMA stuff going on though

I enjoyed the game and played it more hours than GTA V lol.
The plot was janky aborted in some points, but the whole story was cool to me.
I looked at it like an FPS with RPG elements, not as an MMORPG and played it linearly.
Did all 5 endings.

I don't understand why video game companies don't tap into the anime/animated TV series space. For example I jumped back into LOL and started Runtera card game because I enjoyed LoL: Arcane. I don't think investing tons of money into live action is worth it and better off tapping into animation when adapting video games

Animation is a lot of money. While it's starting to be more accepted as a medium for adult content in the west, it's still not like it is in Japan. Most of this stuff in on TV getting ad revenue over there. If this stuff could be on Fox, with Family Guy and The Simpsons time slot, and get picked up for syndication, we would see a lot more of it.

They're getting acquired, and I'd rather it be Sony. Plus GOG would fit in with how Sony looks at acquiring. That would be their in with PC gaming. And if the Bungie deal were to go through, CDPR would then have access to their multiplayer resources. But it could be anyone. Tencent and Embracer Group are out there too.

That's true, but I still feel better investment than making a flop live action. However, stuff seem to be improving with even the mid halo tv series performing well for Paramount +

That flop live action can be flipped in other markets to make their money back though. Our flop will thrive on dvd/blu-ray in other countries and what not.

V would be very very OP.... :why: the subdermal plating, the gun perks, the sandivistan with no kickbacks or cyberpsychosis, the quick hacks and gorilla arms and turning invisible... sheesh...:whew:

I forgot that V is one of few people who are able to use numerous high-level implants and not be affected by Cyberpsychosis. V has way more implants than David from the anime and the only problem they have are blackouts/headaches from Johnny's construct :heh:
