- 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 could see Spike Chunsoft going to Aniplex and FromSoft/Acquire to PS Studios. Well, maybe Acquire publishes some things with Aniplex too.

FromSoft isn't large enough and they aren't the ones at the negotiating table to warrant a Bungie deal (which in the end didn't even matter after Bungie fumbled the ball badly, so there are lessons to be learned from that).

My examples where more in the "they have done business in recent years where they don't want to change stuff" direction than they putting everything under Aniplex (although it would make sense to put Kadokawa there because anime is the biggest attractive of that acquisition).

It's true that there is a big chance for FS to be integrated to PS Studios if it happens but if they have the Fate/Grand Order studio making HUGE money outside PlayStation I see a chance for them to keep FS, SP and Acquire also outside PS. That's just my opinion lol.

And yes there is a lot to learn about the Bungie acquisition, for starters they need to make their auditing harder. You can't trust anyone not even one of the most successful and oldest videogame American companies lol.
