MS finally letting their wallet open for Xbox was always the worst case scenario for Sony. If Sega goes to MS, then anyone can and not sure what will happen in the future.
If MS is absolutely dead set on dominance they might brute force it.

Sega isn't going to MS. No ones gonna buy them IMO especially not MS an American company. I think Microsoft is going after Warner Bros and Sony is going after either Kadokawa or Square Enix. Or maybe some kind of partnership with Square Enix.
 
Acquisition Discussion Restrictions

In wake of the news of Microsoft purchasing Bethesda, discussion and speculation in this thread over which companies Sony should or shouldn't acquire has steadily increased. Over the past month the discussion has escalated and devolved into doom-posting, thinly veiled console warring, concern trolling, and general hostilities all while drowning out most other discussions that are attempted to be had. The effect of this has been numerous posters expressing concern over the general state and tone of the thread and their inability to discuss PlayStation games and have related discussions.

Starting right now all acquisition speculation that is not directly related to a company or developer Sony might be planning on acquiring and that isn't based on a credible source will no longer be allowed in this thread. A credible source being one with substance beyond a random tweet, as per the usual guidelines. Choosing to ignore this will result in a warning and possible thread-ban should it continue.

Thank you.

Since I STLL CANNOT BUY A PS5, I want to resub for PS+ this month to add All Stars for the future. Can I do this via website or do I need PS5 to add PS5 games to library?

You should be able to add them to your library on the website or the mobile app.

Does Sony really needs to mention an acquisition in those meetings? I don't remember to see them ever mentioning Insomniac, before or after the purchase.

They don't. Sony only has to disclose information that is pertinent to their shareholders during the fiscal year or the fiscal quarter. So if they're going to do any big plays, and that information is pertinent enough to bring up to shareholders, they will likely announce them via press release first, allowing shareholders time to formulate questions to ask AT said meetings. Shareholder meetings and fiscal year earnings calls are not a place for surprise announcements.

Basically, earnings meetings should not be looked at as miniature E3s, they're "this is what we did, and this is why you shouldn't sell your stock" meetings. It's investor talk, not hype talk.

I can now finally rest, been stressed for weeks now sacrificing and getting little sleep (at one point I was awake for 37 hours straight), eating less and doing nothing relaxing because the state of this OT and all the fighting and arguing, people leaving, general tone and how it made me feel awful to see everyone feel the way they do. Almost got stressed to the point of thinking about quitting this site after early plea's went nowhere. You're lucky I love all of you too much! After so long I'm glad to finally be able to enact some rule changes that should hopefully make things better for all of you to be able to have fun and positive discussions again.

I need a nap...

I appreciate everything you do, QV. But you have so much on your plate I'm worried about you. You should take into consideration that you can have a break from mod duties when it gets heavy. Keep that in mind and in the meanwhile try to have some rest. You're too good for this thread. <3

This is an interesting restriction just because a few members complained about the acquizo discussions. I wonder what will be next on the chopping block because a handful of members don't like thing. No discussions about Sony's struggle in Japan? Banning Bloomberg because they are mean to Sony? A ban on the word Jrpg? Silencing faux insiders after they hyped up non-existent games? Interesting times I must say.

Oh come on. It's obvious the discussion wasn't fruitful and just causing issues. No need to be a snarky jerk. 😕

Oh look, there's a thread for that:
www.resetera.com

Brad Sams: MS, Amazon, and Google are looking to make acquistions. EA and Sony (not as much as Google and Amazon) also looking

None of the established publishers are big enough to command a big enough presence when it comes to subscription services. If anything, EA, Activision - Blizzard, Take 2 Interactive are way too reliant on microtransactions. They will have to either grow or merge to have any hope of competing...

Random question. Anyone know what the budget for a remake like Demon's Souls would be compared to a new AAA IP?

Yup. Also too many threads made based on just random tweets with nothing but speculation from sams, warren, etc.
