:scust: I don't want slow walking and squeezing through a wall crack on my Fromgoat games.
Hella cutscenes and a sad dad story :huhldup:

In reality tho, there’s nothing to worry about.

Sony is trying to buy a media investment firm that owns stake in From. Not From themselves.

Presumably From will still function as they always have.

They will own nearly 84% of From if they buy Kadokawa :mjlol:

It;s like 69% Kadokawa, 16% Tecent and 14% Sony as of right now.

Nah they been after Kadokawa for a long time for the anime, manga, light novel and ips.

Sony has been on a quest for IP expansion for a while and this is in their budget, but we’ll see… their last 4 negotiations have fallen through

Sure they will own lots of stock in the company.

They will not own the company itself.

Not sure what you meant to prove with this post.

You want From games to be GOW clones?? :dahell:

If you’re a majority stake holder in a company you own the company :mjlol:

they will own more of the company than Fromsoftware themselves. Just like Tencent and Riot games
