Sony's PlayStation division, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has now acquired roughly 14% of Elden Ring studio, FromSoftware Inc..
Microsoft has 'let Blizzard be Blizzard' following the acquisition of the veteran developer according to World of Warcraft's executive producer.
Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.
Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.
Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.
Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...
Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Take-Two Interactive has announced that it will lay off 5% of its workforce and cancel some of its games in an effort to increase profits.
There should be a law that says you can’t get rid of employees just for profits without executives taking a x % pay cut first. Encourage them to figure something else out.
They haven't even released the game, previous game made 10000% percent profits and then layoff?
Should be canceling the casino simulator sports games, but I know it's not them. It better not affect BioShock 4 and the Borderlands games
Good move, but should have got the studio.
Tencent now owns 16%… 🤢
Hopefully they don’t ever get their hands on the rest or a majority.
EDIT: NetEase just bought Quantic Dream too…
An interesting line that may get missed by headline readers:
"FromSoftware decided to conduct the Third-Party Allotment to Sixjoy within the Tencent Group, which has strength in its capabilities to develop and deploy mobile games"
So. was this a tactical move so Microsoft would not buy Elder Rings??
Should have bought them after demon souls.
