Made the thread?
Nah. If Sony were planning a move, it'd make more sense to wait.
They took advantage of a stock price bump. We might see them sell more if/when Control becomes a huge seller.
Something like Shadow of the Colossus remake quality adapted to a jrpg cannot be cheap...
I say this as someone who has no idea about businesses, but wouldn't the stocks be more expensive if Sony offered a buy out? Like, they'd be losing potential money with this move if Sony made an offer.
EDIT: Hell, if anything they are anticipating the game bombing, and thus tanking the value of the shares, so they're actually getting ahead of it. They say they don't know how pre-orders are going, but they probably have some kind of picture of how it's gonna go.
Doesn't really read like they are concerned about advance estimates/pre order numbers,
I'm not sure if I'd call selling 170,000 shares out of 12,072,150 "a lot". Stock price was way higher than usual, might as well make some money by selling some. All in all those 170,000 shares is just a little over 1.4% of all outstanding shares.
Exactly. That thread is going to be filled with hot takes considering the current title and zero information given by the OP.
Some meat for y'all to chew on, it might also explain why Shu visited them when he was in town...
Sony loves to own the IP it funds, but it seems Remedy is adamant about holding onto their IP, I don't blame them after AW and QB.

I see. So what you are saying that they are going to be acquired by Sony.
...
Sorry. I couldn't resist writing this :D
How about everyone in this thread acquire a copy of Dreams. That's the only acquisition that matters.
Pin this post make it a threadmark make a thread out of it something
I'm not sure if Sony is interested to buy Remedy. Pretty sure their next game will be ps5 exclusive. Maybe Sony is interested to make a franchise out of Control, that's maybe why Shu visited them.
And maybe Sony is looking to buy Illfonic. Maybe they will wait and see how Predator will be doing. If it's a great success, i can imagine an acquisition.

Just a thought: Remedy's games always seem fly under the radar, even when they were partnered up with MS.
Wouldn't be the case if they were part of WWS and had that Sony marketing behind them.

Although all the clues say it could happen (and it would be an great addition to Sony) I believe Sony don't want to try to buy a public company like Remedy. Remedy would be a much more complicated company to get a contract to buy than Insomniac for example.
I can only think of The Order. Ratchet and Clank the game did pretty well, I think, but the movie tie-in was a disaster.
At least The Order 1886 was profitable.
Ratchet PS4 was the best selling game of Insomniac (before Spider-Man) so huge success
What? It sold really well. It reviewed poorly though.
Sure, but... they wanted to also create new IPs if given the opportunity.
Don't need to be sad if they acquire Ready At Dawn too! Right Sanji?! 😏😉
For their next game (which turned out to be Control), no? 🤔

Why do people think IO would be a good buy, the Hitman games aren't selling like bonkers.
Acquiring Sumo Digital would be as good as another Killzone/FPS. So not good at all.
I'm so inclined to believe that just like the opposite of last gen, marketing has next to nothing to do with it. It's just whoever is the console market leader.
As the waters muddy on what constitutes a 'console war' next generation (that's to say with increasing streaming/subscription services that are platform agnostic) it might become even less relevant.
it does not matter if they do not sell 10 million games. They have incredible knowledge of Level Design and are Danish, Sony is looking for a European studio (we all know they like Remedy and Housemarque), so why not ? for me Sony and IO are 100% compatible
Sony is more likely to buy a studio like Camouflaj than Illfonic.
The studio making a game that will absolutely be a success and already looks amazing.

Honestly, I don't think looking to the past way Sony have handled acquisitions is going to be all that telling about how they handle things going forward. It's a new era and the content arms race has never been fiercer. Basically I don't think anything is off the table, whether that's studios that specialise in areas where they are strong, or ones that specialise in areas where they are weak. Or studios that they have established relationships with vs. studios that they haven't worked.
I hope more Sony studios add multiplayer to their games next gen. Give me coop Horizon, GoW, Spider-Man, Ratchet, Ape Escape, everything.
You don't belong round these parts may I direct you to the Microsoft fp thread perhaps
It really doesn't. The only game he mentioned that it makes sense for is Horizon and only as a separate more from single player.
