I see you guys are having fun talking about Kadokawa lol so here are my two cents:

- If it happens FromSoft games won't be exclusive: It would be the same Aniplex situation, Aniplex is a japanese Sony company and they almost exclusively publish games for the Switch. They are also owners of Fate/Grand Order one of the biggest japanese gachas in the world and there wasn't any reports or rumor of annexing it to PS even when PS has a mobile division (lol).

- There won't be any creative impositions: When Sony acquired Bungie the plan was to let them do whatever they wanted for whatever platform they wanted, they knew Bungie was working in 6 games and none of them were canceled until ... the Bungie bubble popped and all the internal problems came to the light. Still of those 6 projects only one was canceled.

I'm not saying it would be good if it happens tho, smaller and small companies should exist.
The real problem is about morality we all know that but it's little we can do in the world of big time money.

A lot of this depends on how they were to integrate Kadokawa into Sony. 

I think keeping them under Sony Music like they do with Aniplex would lead to the situation you're talking about. 

If they did it more by pieces, and had gaming under Sony Interactive, things could be different. But that doesn't seem very likely to me. Certainly not in the short term. 

That is true but it would make more sense to keep the japanese company under their best japanese division even more when the real attractive of Kadokawa is the anime not the games and Aniplex is doing great in that regard. Only time will tell.

BTW I think this is the first time that I interact with you. I have to say I really like this thread. I'm not here everyday but when I do most people who comment really seem to enjoy PS and aren't the classic hater that wears the "I talk because I loved PS in the 90's even when what I liked wasn't even part of PS and I don't like PS anymore" costume.

Good stuff, lol.
