This would actually be good for gaming
The best non indie/aka titles are coming from Sony right now so
Indie titles are the future anyway (at least for those born before 1995
).

It'd be terrible for gaming, doesn't benefit anyone but Take Two's shareholdersThis would actually be good for gaming

Sony lose as buying R* doesn't move the needle for them, they already have a commanding lead. They won't move more console units and will make less money making R* titles consoles exclusives and if they don't do that, they've spent 15-20b to publish multiplats??
Furthermore, they've shown great aptitude at developing their own 1st party IPs (GoW, Horizon, Spidey, Death Stranding etc) at significantly less cost. Buying R* takes away financial investment from continuing the trend & disrupts executive focus.
XBots and Nintendo owners lose as they may not get R* titles
Fwiw, I think this is clickbait/fake news. Sony needs to be investing in cloud infrastructure because post PS6/Xbox 2 era they will be left behind by MS, Google, Nvidia and even Amazon

I love you, you know.
Ewwwww...
I'm a Sony Stan and I wouldn't support this move. It would be a terrible blow to Microsoft, and we need MS to come with heat to keep Sony on their toes. Competition, for consumers, is good.
Would be more bytchmade than EA having the only NFL console franchise.

Rockstar doesn't have to worry about microtransactions these days and they implement it.
Red Dead 2 made a reported $725 mill in it's opening weekend.
A Sony takeover would be as beneficial, on paper, as video games going digital...
Meaning, you'd think they'd do the Goodwill thing yet digital games are still $60 at release and best believe the lower first week profit margins of red Dead not being multiplatform would probably mean Sony consumers getting beat in the head even more.

LOL what you crying about.NBA gotta threaten to pull the license or something. This is the first time I didn’t get the Xbox too (usually get both) , but exclusives in general are fukkin wack, unless the game couldn’t have been made without the backing.
If you grown, still on that fanboy shyt, you better have stock in MS or Sony
you'll stil have NBA live.
Red dead would actually be fun to play

These boys would be fine with Microsoft bringing all online gaming under their umbrella but draw the line at Sony "possibly" acquiring 2K:DAIGOMJLOL: It's funny watching ya'll squirm.

Real G's move in silence
Microsoft nose-diving if this happens
Wait...what?
Microsoft bringing all online gaming under their umbrella? Or just licensed Msft studio games?
Sony isn’t even the bigger fish here when it comes to gaming.
Rockstar is bigger and has a larger budget than any Sony studio.
This acquisition would literally make zero sense for all involved.
It only makes sense for stan reasons
Some are salivating at the idea (no matter how far fetched it may be) of all console gaming being done under "XBOX LIVE" with seemingly no concern of how that would create a monopoly and hurt consumers / gamers.
In the end creatives will rule the world, not the middle men.Sony isn’t even the bigger fish here when it comes to gaming.

The internet made the direct to consumer relationship simple.
Console manufacturers will not dictate the market anymore.
Publishers and Devs will go straight to the consumer and control the lion's share of the revenue and make console manufacturers bend to their products and not the other way around as it has been up until this point.
