The fanbase know they are third party.

They just don't count it as third party as long as it's not on Xbox.

It's not a bad thing. It's just silly to deny it.

Some of the fanbase prefer to stay ignorant.

Easier to cope that way.

Games coming to PC a year or two+ later is different than day 1 of release

Understand

Sorry, but I don't have anything useful to contribute.

Apparently you're making a lot of us laugh.

 

[UltimaKilo]

An odd investment, but OK.

Third Party is third party bro.

Making your own rules doesn't change the facts.

At 2.5%, that makes them the 3rd largest shareholder. So not quite fuck all lol.

Largest shareholder owns less than 10% btw.

This looks more like mimicing the Keiretsu practices of the past where these smaller share buys are an expression of a deeper biz relationship rather than the relationship itself like in the west.

Nintendo will buy Kadokawa whole when Duskbloods becomes the next Elden Ring, just watch

The only big company that could integrate Kadokawa is Sony. Kadokawa gaming studios are only a small portion of it, they also have Manga publishing and real estate.
Kadokawa recently hinted interest in being acquired but as a whole and Sony wants only the gaming part (dunno why, with Crunchyroll and the big insurance dept they could integrate Kadokawa, I guess they are apprehensive because of the Bungie burn).
Sony already owns a small percentage of Kadokawa and a small percentage of FromSoftware.

Should buy some of Sega and have them make Wipeout GX.

We need a game, everybody buys everybody.

2.5%

2.5% of something is better than owning 100% of trash, well, in the case of Bungie is not trash, they only got scammed good, lmao

I'd personally love to see a remake of R Type 4. Nothing compares in the series imo. But yes, would love to see a new RR too.

I loved Type 4, but the PSP games are better.

I'd love to get a new Ridge Racer that would remake all the content from all the previous entries in the series, including ALL circuits -including mirror and reverse variants-, cars, teams, game modes (loved the career one from Rage Racer) and music tracks and would add a few new circuits, songs, cars plus features like deep car customization and online multiplayer with a ranked system.

Should buy some of Sega and have them make Wipeout GX.

Yes, please.

Not counting the ones with Chinese or Korean companies, Sony made in recent times strategic partnership with Kadokawa+CyGames, Koei Tecmo+Akatsuki, now Bandai Namco. Next ones in the list could be Capcom, Square Enix, Konami and Sega.

I personally would love to see a Sega+Sumo Digital codeveloped Wipeout with more Japanese and anime vibes (launched almost at the same time than an a related epic shonen anime adaptation).
