Big piece of missing context for the Kadokawa buyout: A Korean company (Kakao) has been aggressively buying shares of Kadokawa looking to take over. Rumors are saying that Kadokawa turned to Sony for a buyout because they would rather be owned by a fellow Japanese company than a foreign one.
That's very unlikely. The Japanese government can intervene in case of a hostile takeover by an overseas company. There is no need to go looking for a buyer in that situation. That's probably just a planted rumour for PR reasons
The only way a hostile takeover can happen is if the party who wants to do the takeover has a large majority share, like 20%, according to their public records the largest ownership of the company is by Kakao Investment Co at 8.870%, whereas the company itself owns around 4.412% themselves and another 4.78% through Masao Kawakami for a combined 9.192% stake. What they should focus on is buying back shares to ensure they have a larger percentage, to around 15% - 20%.

They could of done it even without this acquisition lol, i mean they made bloodbourne already, nothing is stopping them from doing it again. This won't change anything if they haven't done it already

Only spoiled gamers care about this. Reality is this will impact anime and manga industry MUCH more. Fromsoftware being there is just a plus. Sony would’ve still been trying to buy kadokawa if they weren’t owned by them. Also this is SONY buying out kadokawa not PlayStation. Meaning it’s not guaranteed PlayStation will step in and force them to make exclusives.

@ yeah they really do 😂. Sony’s divisions have such bad synergy that Sony Music has actually accidentally copyright struck Sony Pictures and SIE before. It’s nuts 🤣. That’s why I’m puzzled as to why people think this purchase has anything to do with PlayStation. It’s a move by Sony group and Sony Music
i think soon other movie companies acquireds other japanese companies. Example: Paramount - Shueisha / Shonen Jump; Disney - Kodansha / Shonen Magazine; Universal - Shogakukan / Shonen Sunday; Sony - Kadokawa and Shonen Gangan; Warner Bros - Shonen Champion
no, they're a major conglomerate in Japan and have their hands in a lot of forms of media like books, anime, games, movies, live action TV shows, and music. This is the same areas that Sony does in Japan. It's basically the equivalent of Google Search buying up Yahoo search
Makes sense that they will try to do that. A bloodborne sequel is going to be a PS6 exclusive made by bluepoint not fromsoft because Sony owns that IP.
Custom Character designer will be removed and replaced with presets to avoid making ugly and fat people insecure. Also all the demigods will officially be nonbinary.
Hmmm an elden ring sequel is definitely not a guaranteed thing. I think it's way more likely their next game is an entirely new IP. And Miyazaki has also said in multiple interviews that he isn't interested in doing sequels.
I can't see a future where sony owning from software leads to anything good but who knows, maybe they'll learn from their mistakes and just let from software make whatever they want.
@@ryuukkkoko874and the dark souls games performed infinitely better because they weren’t exclusives. Bloodborne could’ve been an even bigger hit without the greed too.
imagine the reason is Miyakazi wants a bigger budget for Elden Ring 2 and Song can offer that money. Souls Game are nice but there are a lot of No-Life people who play so with Sony help it will extremely grindy.
People concerned about what impact this will have in the gaming space should calm down a bit lol. Developers like FromSoftware, Spike Chunsoft, and Acquire would all most likely retain enough autonomy to do whatever they wish separate from PlayStation Studios or be spun off as independent developers like Bungie currently. I believe FromSoftware will still do Elden Ring 2 and it will still be multiplatform. Spike Chunsoft will still do games like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Acquire will still do games like Mario & Luigi; Brothership. What people should be actually worried about is the fact that Sony will be completely taking over the anime industry if this acquisition goes through. Based on their previous purchases these past few years it's much more likely they're acquiring Kadokawa to monopolize the anime industry than they are because of its gaming studios (The gaming related assets are just a bonus guys).
When it comes to Sony, everyone is pissed. When it comes to disney, microsoft or any american company. Everyone says they are knight in shinning armor who will save the franchise or something 😂
Please No. I prefer Sony not buying Kadokawa. If Sony manages to buy Kadokawa, future games made by FromSoftware will have that annoying PSN account requirement on Steam.

Kadokawa is looking to sell now that the founding family is gone and Sony is the company with the best sinergies across their different divisions. If Kadokawa thinks Sony offered enough they will sell.
I feel assured Miyazaki will not sell his soul. I honestly thinks he cares more about his art than his wallet. If they try to get him to make trash, he will walk and take his people with him. You don't have a Fromsoft without him

Too late they already made a bunch of trash games for the last decade. That clown doesn’t even play his own games and it shows. Poorly designed ugly pieces of trash. And the industry already glazing them for the TGAs.😒
@@Tenz2346g i don't disagree with most of that. What i took issue with , it's the acting like Fromsoftware is a non-factor in the purchase that i disagree with. According to the report i just looked up, PS is Sony's most profitable division by a fair margin, and From is one of the most sought after studios. It doesn't make sense to purchase Kadokawa under PS, because they have so many different types of assets.
I mean cod is not doing well even though black ops 6 was good.Xbox’s strategy is to sell more games so they are releasing their exclusives on ps and ps does has more users counting both 4 and 5 so it will only be a loss for Xbox and Xbox has a 10 year agreement which they cannot break
Pulling a massive cash cow like the souls games from other platforms would be financial suicide. They wouldn’t pull the games that make a massive load of money. Only Microsoft was that stupid with Starfield but the game ended up being kinda ass, which was disappointing. Should have just kept it multi platform and took everyone’s money.
I think it would be funny if Microsoft tried to stop this just like Sony did with them and activision. I also think Microsoft would have a better argument since Sony is known more for making things exclusive while Microsoft has taken a more “everyone can play” approach recently.
@@mckenlyoneal143 for games activison and blizzard are way bigger than kadkawa’s studios and Xbox is earning more than a playstation just because of these studios so both the cases are different so they would not be able to do anything
@ but it’s not just games though right? They are buying kadokawa for more than just games. They want to have a majority share in the anime market not just the anime games market.
@@Tenz2346g I see what your saying. But ultimately it’s not Microsoft but the FTC that does or doesn’t do anything. Really Microsoft just has to lobby to them. Now I will say you are right and they probably won’t since it probably doesn’t ultimately concern Microsoft since the market is so small. But I definitely expect the FTC to launch an investigation into this to see if it is monopoly territory.
I think From is nearly a perfect company right now so would new bosses improve on perfection? Actually, odds are, new suit and tie people in the room might frick things up.
It will be interesting to see whether Sony play their usual role of gate keeping and hoarding exclusives like a spoilt child with this buyout or whether they follow Microsoft in sharing for the betterment of the industry.
If Sony buys Kadokawa say goodbye to possible Elden Ring 2 and other sequel plans. Sony fucking hates and loathes FromSoftware and will force them to make shitty 3rd person shooters. The way Sony has treated Bloodborne IP is very telling.
