Continuando a cavalcare il rumor (ergo pinze, e prendete il discorso "for fun")
The next company to be swooped up will be another company with internal issues and enormous IP offerings. Read into that what you will.
Should the information the source gave me turn out to be correct, it would definitely be a landmark deal for Sony and the company being purchased. The acquisition of this company also won’t fall under the U.S. purview and jurisdiction, so they’ll get absolutely no say in whether or not these two companies can form as one. While the company I’ve been told will be picked up is massive in their own right, it still wouldn’t quite be as big as the Activision and Microsoft partnership, but it would definitely mark a new era for two of some of the oldest companies in the game.
The timing for an expected announcement hasn’t been made clear to me, but I’m told it will be sooner than later. The date doesn’t matter, as it will undoubtedly make headlines when it’s formally announced, that is for sure. I’m not sure if I like or dislike the way the gaming industry is going, but I will say it’s definitely different and could be much, much better for gamers. Sony and Microsoft are much more likely to produce quality titles if their name is attached to it. We know that’s the case for Sony, but hopefully Microsoft catches up in the first-party game. For what it’s worth, some of the greatest games in PlayStation history have come from this developer & been exclusive to the PlayStation, so at least we have that going for us should this information pan out.
