Didn't see that? I didn't know they wanted to be acquired?

They've wanted to be acquired for quite a long time.
For a while the head of Quantic Dream was being open that they wanted to be a part of PlayStation Studios.

Of course I would. Of course. I really like Sony, honestly I do. They’ve made some bets with developers like Fumito Ueda and Media Molecule. I kind of feel loyal to them.

Being part of a bigger publisher has some good advantages for studios. There's less worrying about funding for instance.

But Sony got kind of disturbed by Quantic Dream, and wanted to bail out.

NetEase has been investing in them since early 2019:

What did Quantic Dream do that freaked out Sony?
