| SegaHeart said: It does sound better but, having Tomb Raider, Dues Ex, Sleeping dogs with studios and IP seems palatable man I wanted Sony to acquire them for that low I really agree with both of you except Blood_tears moreso tomb raider is an amazing IP alone it's not fair everyone else is hustling very wisely but Sony to let Tomb Raider go just doesn't feel right, I feel THQ nordic will have enough fire power in studios and IPs they'll make the Atari company that made Atari VCS for $300 look like nothing . I have a feeling it'll be when will THQ nordic enter console gaming and better manage than Atari by x2 miles. |
It's not like Sony will be losing Tomb Raider or Deus Ex on their platform though. Those IP's used to hold a lot of weight in gaming but this is an industry that moves quickly. I think it says a lot more that major players didn't want to bid 300M+ for these studios & their IP's. I actually think this makes a Square Enix acquisition from Sony a lot more palatable (w/ a cheaper valuation) without any bloat to hold it down.
As for Embracer making a move to enter console gaming, I find that to be unlikely, since they don't own any major IP, and will be fighting an uphill battle against established platforms with significantly less capital expenditure. A subscription service however? That is a lot more probable but still very unlikely.
