Why would they waste money buying Crytek instead of a company like From Software?

Sony could buy Capcom... for crytek the only sense would be buying it for the price of their liability, paying just to get control and relieve the owners from it... paying real money would be silly even with their good graphics.

I hope it's false. Sony could spend their money on better things. They already have GG for shiny eye candy that may or may not have substance gameplay wise.
Capcom I'd support though.

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Not nostalgic value, monetary value.
Yeh that hurt me to say but I didn't lie.
Having a mature engine they could give to developers for games on their platform could be beneficial. It just depends on how much. If Cryengine is the next phyreengine for the west I think its a smart choice. Hope they don't overpay cause of their ip and development teams.
Yeah I bet many companies have considered buying Crytek. Most probably came to the same conclusion: not worth.
The only value in Crytek is buying their game engine. But Sony hardly needs that since they have studios with frikkin amazing game engines.
Most likely is MS with their strange fixation on Ryse. Might be worth for them.

Will that much salt do? ;)

an extremely bad developer.
Crytek is great at tech, pretty meh at best at making games.
Sony already has guerrilla to fill that need.
