Gaming Acquisition |OT|

[the-pi-guy]

Dumb purchase.

First of all they are struggling
Second of all, taking all their IPs and putting them exclusive will not help
Third of all, manage your current studios better than expand, this gen has been horrible.

Make new deals with developers, have them release a game or two, them buy them. Their most successful acquisitions have always been this way. Continue doing that

1- I'd argue the biggest reason they're struggling is bad direction. Avalanche had Hogwarts be wildly successful. Rocksteady is a great studio that keeps getting pushed on live service. - But I think Sony would want more live service unfortunately.

3 - big issue is that takes a lot of time. 


But Sony would be interested in this, for TV reasons also.

But Sony would be interested in this, for TV reasons also.  

just to be upfront,.. i didn't read the article.  

...but this was my first thought as well.   i know "game assets" is not "TV/Movie assets" but WB has some big IP in its catalog.  even if just harry potter limited to gaming that is a massive game.   

...and sony likely wouldn't keep it exclusive either.  probably skip xbox but PC feels like a certainty at this point.
