No! This would be a terrible nightmare. Stop repeating this, don't give them stupid ideas. Also no Square Enix, no Sega and no Ubisoft, either. Also no Platinum Games to Nintendo, either. One-trick ponys like Bungie are fine in my eyes, but big names in the industry that diversify and enrich the gaming landscape are not okay and should stay independent forever.

For the record, I'm not okay with MS buing Acti/Blizzard, either.

Well, better sleep tight then, the nightmare is coming lol.

It's only a matter of time before gaming is consolidated into 5 - 6 major players. It sucks, but Sony can't stop it, Nintendo can't either, but they can lock up certain publishers/IP, in order to maintain their market position. Why wouldn't they?

I do have my own reservations about gaming turning into a subscription landscape, especially with how most subscription services lock content on them without the option to buy it on other platforms, but it is what it is at this point.
