Sony is literally building AAA studios not buying them

[Gizmo_Duck]

But here is what you said...

I'm not even gonna add one of my patented soliloquies, I'm gonna let you talk

They still haven’t bought an AAA studio so I’m confused

Even if they eventually buy them it’s still a studio they built and gave the option to be bought. Thats pretty much the biggest difference

It’s the equivalent to wifing a girl after dating her 10 years. The name changes but the relationship was already there and the title change gets legal benefits but personally you still just getting what you had.

exactly

edit——not entirely getting what we had before. Aqusition means more money, resources and flexibility with the studios. For smaller studios it makes a way bigger difference when they aren’t worried about running out of money and time, they also have access to Sonys support studios like Malaysia, xdev,etc.

as contract studio Bluepoint and Housemarque didn’t have access to go back and do anything to games they worked on before, now they do

yall are weird, where is the contradiction? Housemarque and Bluepoint were literally no different from these new studios. They were fully funded smaller independent studios that had the option of selling to anyone. There is no contradiction here.

Sony didn’t just go out and buy Konami or something

This should be applauded. They are funding the creation of bunch of brand new AAA studios without the intention of owning them and consolidating them into sony game factories. This is good business...and even better for the industry as a whole

Sony just did the complete opposite of what you championed in the opening post with this latest purchase. If you don't see the contradiction its almost pointless to discuss anything with you because clearly you are blinded by standom

Most if not all these purchases from microsoft and sony haven't been hostiles takeovers. They have the option to not sell, so that's a non factor, but for most why wouldn't they sell. The ones that aren't up for selling haven't sold and probably wont because they don't really get any benefit out of it and the money doesn't add up. Square, capcom, EA, ubi, take two etc etc..

Yes long time funding and working relationships is vastly different than acquiring successful AAA studios. It’s y’all who are blinded by standom

Always funny when people say sony can’t afford acquisitions when this was part of their fiscal report

Since when was Nixxes a AAA studio? Seems like you guys are grasping at straws trying to equivalate Sony buying a PC port studio to an entire publisher of games.

A reach of epic proportions that how you know they’re feeling defeated lol

This title of the thread is specifically about AAA developers/publishers, and they are equating Housemarque and a pc porting tech company to that.
