A new report claims that Sony is looking to acquire FromSoftware's parent company Kadokawa Corporation, but that could be uncomfortable news for manga fans. A report emerged today that says Sony is apparently having "ongoing" talks with Kadokawa regarding the tech company's acquisition of owner FromSoftware. Obviously, on the gaming side, consolidation is always bad,
This could be bad news indeed. Sony has at least been releasing their exclusive titles on PC recently, so even if they go through with the acquisition we might still get future FromSoft games on PC (hopefully) but the tidbit about their anime and manga holdings is also troubling.
Meh if they add the PSN bullshit it’s a no go for me and many others
Sony already owns Crunchyroll. Giving a corporation this much control over anime/manga would be disastrous.
