Are we really going to go back to limiting options because they don’t fit some intangible, ever-changing criteria? SE has plenty of reasons to be avoided for acquisition, and “the relationship status” doesn’t come into play. Besides, Microsoft have already told us who they think is valuable, and SE wasn’t on the finalists last I checked.
That said , even though my targets from 2020 were almost 100% on the money, I never foresaw ABK and often wrote them off because of a lack of closer relationship and the HR issues… so as I’ve tried to remind people, I would be hesitant to say anyone is off the table.
square enix has made some of my favorite games over the years. I’d be thrilled if they were acquired as then I’d get all there games with play anywhere support which is the real MVP of any acquisition.
