I don't think Tencent owns Platinum Games from what I recall. 

As for studio closures changing their mind, I really doubt that, its just the cost of business. Many of these independent studios who bomb will have no choice but to shut down. I do think Sony would do whatever it takes to retain From's top talent though, and that might mean offering them independence like Bungie, if it came down to that. 

pretty sure they do but could be wrong. (About Tencent and PG).

Still this is actually a good chance to see first how fucked up is Kadokawa inside because they had their own problems in recent years and that's why they wanted to sell the business. From security attacks to bribing in the Olympics and the least thing Sony needs right now is a second Bungie.

If everything goes as they plan there is always the chance of Sony buying more of Kadokawa. The Saudi bought all of SNK in 3 moves made in 3 consecutive years from 2020 to 2022.

The details of the investment, including the amount, have not been disclosed but the studio has stressed that -- unlike past Tencent investments -- the deal does not involve a change of ownership.

The Tencent investment wasn't an acquisition, PG didn't change ownership.
