AMD made that purchase all with stocks too, IIRC. We just saw Take Two acquire Zynga, which is more than half their market, but Sony isn't capable of buying a few publishers lol? |
The level of risk you incur with a stock based transaction is significantly higher than a cash deal, and leave Sony as a whole more vulnerable to fluctuating market conditions. To acquire a publisher via a stock or debt transaction when so many other Sony ventures require capital would not be ideal for Sony leadership and would frankly be an option of last resort
