Well, it's as the person I was replying to said: why buy a company that would work with you anyway. There is also the fact that Sony's talk of acquisitions started soon after E3 when Microsoft bought another company (after purchasing 5 others) and pledged to buy more. I'd think what you are saying would make more sense if this was a purchase that was unexpected, something that would expand their portfolio, but it's one they've worked a lot with and haven't other had a reason to purchase. It looks more like a defensive more than aggressively building their portfolio. 

That said, I'm no expect on Sony's acquisitions so if you have more specific examples of what you are talking about then I'm open to hearing them.

Because it was expected, it is unlikely to be anything related to Microsoft, but it is pointless to debate because no one will ever know. 

Actually they are reacting to other company especially their rival and the market situation. Microsoft is one of them, and the rest is the emerge of Stadia and Epic exclusivity. How the industry going to service based and Also Sony also has the money to invest and has proven that Video Games are big for SONY . So You are correct but VideoGameAccountant is not wrong either.

Sony has been looking at acquiring studios recently, especially due to the competitive market over the past year where large platform holders such as Microsoft and Epic have been looking to acquire talent to build out larger games libraries for next gen hardware and services.
