Forums - Gaming Discussion - Fromsoftware is extremely better purchase than atlus here's why, Skinner pathetic meme

G2ThaUNiT on 19 August 2022

Both FromSoftware and Atlus already have parent companies. So unless either studio is struggling on a consistent level to where their parent companies decide to sell the studios, or either parent company decides to sell, Kadokawa Corporation (FromSoft) and Sega (Atlus) I don't see either studio being bought.

Kadokawa owns them. Can we stop this shit of asking everyone to buy everyone? Feels like spam now. I stopped even trying to make topics because I knew they would be buried with all your spam topics. It's really annoying.

And so what? Sales aren't everything. How much did it cost to make/market the game? How much of the money generated actually ends up as profit? More importantly, if you were going to actually try and buy one of the studios how much would it cost? Diversity is also important, say you're Microsoft, you've already got big western style RPGs with Bethesda, do you really need more? Getting something that would actually give you a presence in the Japanese market would make more impact, even if the sales are lower, since you'd be selling to new people rather than existing customers.

Well MS certainly could buy both if they wanted and regulators allowed. But talking real world constraints your point is perfect. Companies would make the ROI analysis of let's say the 2 option and see which would give the corporation as a whole the biggest bang per buck, and as you said the investment that is smaller, sell less, etc can have a bigger impact for their bottomline than the bigger one be it total or per dollar invested.

Not sure how much Kadokawa gets from the extreme success of Elden Ring (considering Namco published it) but I doubt Kadokawa is looking to sell after the wildly successful Elden Ring. I also doubt Sega is looking to sell Atlus considering the success of the Persona series recently.

With that said, can't rule out someone coming in and buying either Kadokawa or Sega outright (not saying that WILL happen but it's not out of the realm of possibility).
