I see a lot of people online confident that Sony would allow Fromsoft to continue to be multiplat. Where exactly is this coming from? Nothing in Sonys history other than Bungie suggest that would be the case. That only happened because Bungie made it part of the requirement for being purchased. Something Kadokawa wouldn't give a damn about.

because it's not playstation buying from software. it's sony group buying a multimedia company that happens to be their parent company. it's very unlikely they would end up under playstation instead of staying under kadokawa.

I don't see why it's very unlikely. They literally have a whole gaming division but they are going to let Kadokawa continue to act independently instead of moving it in house to their own division? What would be the incentive to do that? Especially after the disaster that happened with them letting Bungie do exactly what you're suggesting.
