QuoteThis round includes an additional $200M strategic investment from Sony Group Corporation, which builds on the already close relationship between the two companies and reinforces their shared mission to advance the state of the art in technology, entertainment, and socially-connected online services.

So $450mil invested in Epic now. Apparently that $250m they invested a year ago is now worth $400m itself, so seems like the investments are worth it.

Nothing? This is just a business and they are making long term profit and strategic decisions here. This makes sense for them. I also wonder what this will mean for Sonys PC releases and EGS going forward
