To buy Bungie or not. Basically if they were to lose Bungie they would literally had no a single big FPS game they own. Literally now. Single player or multiplayer. Imagine if aside single player FPS (that came from BGS) they would also lose biggest multiplayer one (COD, Destiny)
Bungine gaves them GaaS experience (they don’t have a lot of GaaS games and Xbox has always been skewed towards online gaming) and they secured big FPS for their platform.
They have Killzone. 
“He’s dead, Jim” 
Perfect example of the saying: There are no bad Sony games, just forgotten Sony games.
This is also true for me lol. If Sony gets a publisher this is what I choose. I don’t play any of the AAA stuff from Square and if the budget JRPGs stop getting made I can very much live without them. Hard to say what the fate of Dragon Quest would be with the ownership but if Sony shelves the IP because of that then it’s going to only be further detrimental to their weak JP presence if they’re buying publishers then just ending classic game series lmao.
They’re probably the JP publisher I touch the least. This acquisition isn’t a net positive for me but it’s definitely the least damaging both for myself and for Xbox.
But again these guys don’t know anything and there’s many points that go against there being an acquisition.
Yeah, Sony getting Square would be a disaster, and only way it could work if they allow their games to be published on Nintendo. I think many just look at the AAA games, but those AA Square games probably net them a huge amount of profits. For Xbox it won’t matter much if Sony acquires them since we’ve been getting less and less Square Japanese games, but this move would damage Nintendo and possibly PC.
I think for Sony if they’re looking at Japanese games they would be better off going after Konami IPs.
But it would be interesting to see the dynamic between Sony and Nintendo if Sony acquires Square Enix. Well, Sony might keep the games multiplatform though.
Or Sony could repurpose those staff to make more Playstation-centric games.
But will people resign if they won’t be allowed to make Switch games anymore? /s
Team Asano seems like prime Nintendo poach material to me and I don’t think Sony cares enough to keep them
And here I thought it this deal couldn’t get any worse lol
AAA will not be multi-platform. They literally put them in temporary exclusive deals.
Smaller projects? May be
For whom is this a disaster? Sony literally does not care about all these small projects. Most likely, they will just put all the Square Enix teams on the Final Fantasy stream and so on to make AAA, focused not only on Japan, but also on the west.
Look at the author 
So this is where he works now?
Who’s Tae Kim?
Was it a former bloomberg report? The one with Twitter fanboyism or something?
Yup, our beloved TAE KIM!!
Well, of course he’s talking nonsense. It makes more sense for Sony to buy Capcom than Square Enix
Everything points to Square no? (of course if you trust insiders)
Does Square Enix have a rather weak flow of large projects? On the other hand, Sony needs some kind of stable GAAS other than Destiny, and that’s where FF14 comes in.
