My logic with FROM is that Kadokawa is not really in the gaming business.....its pretty much just FROM by revenue and they haven't made any clear moves of expanding. And their gaming business doesn't add much to their bottom line either.

Imo, and I think FROM kinda knows this, FROM is a studio that could become a leader in the RPG genre, up there with Bethesda and CDPR, however they are often quite behind in tech and it seems they haven't grown as quickly as they should be.

Combine that with the variability of publisher fishing, IP ownership, I think FROM with be a whole different beast under a AAA gaming publisher.

Kadokawa's gaming division isn't huge, but they do have a few teams that make RPGs and anime games. It doesn't really make them a huge amount of money, but they seem to be pretty intent on keeping and even expanding it.

We do Know that Sony is investing on anime and games based on anime/novel/manga and if i`m not wrong they are partnering with Kadokawa a lot. So who knows if that may turn into their game arm becoming a joint venture or full sale.
