What a waste of money. Square is gonna continue to release games on playststion regardless. Invest in something better
do you really think SE is giving playstation exclusives for nuggets and giggles?   sony has been pumping money into SE for ages now to secure those exclusives so maybe, just maybe, sony will save money by just buying them outright instead of paying for timed or console exclusives. 

also SE gives quite a lot of exclusives to nintendo.   i don't hate that nintendo gets them but i'd prefer that ps gets them too.

also SE is one of the more sucessful mobile game developers.  that's an area sony has made a public commitment too:

similar to how bungie is helping sony with their GaaS push maybe SE would be a good strategic partner to help sony with their mobile push.

lastly,.. don't for one second forget about MS.  they'll buy the entire fukting industry with their excessive billions of cash given enough time.  some of these purchases are purely defensive to prevent the loss of games to their platform.  MS misses out on a lot of SE games and if sony is willing to be more multiplat (as they seem to) deals to ensure some of these legacy franchises (aka final fantasy) appear on xbox could be done in exchange for ms's legacy franchises (CoD, diablo, doom) appear on playstation platforms.  personally i'd love for a MSony deal to be publically announced around committment to both platforms for legacy franchises.   both sides deserve to have exclusives but taking away games from franchises that have decades of multiplat releases is BS.


take-two is still the one i'm most worried about.  even though i don't play GTA losing that franchise will hurt sony really bad.   i promise you that MS has eyes on them already.
