Why doesn't Microsoft just buy Fromsoft...

Why doesn't Microsoft just buy Fromsoft ? It would literally be the killing blow to Sony and they probably wouldnt cost more than a billion to acquire. Plus they both have the soft in their names like it's meant to be.

They would have to buy it from kadokawa.

microsoft has mercy

Killing blow? More like purification.

Dark Souls is finished now, user
Bloodborne II would be a forced meme after I
Elden Ring will flop hopefully so the reign of souls-like games can finally die

>American company buying out japanese
Literally against the law lmao

Thats not beneficial. The intention is to make them squirm and deal enough small cuts that they wither away.

Because Bloodborne sold two million copies on a 110+ million install base

it was bought by kadokawa and has been owned.

>Zig Forums is suddenly okay with a company monopoly
Why?

It hurt sony

>buy From Software
>Miyazaki doesnt like the purchase and leaves
>you got nothing
Seems like something Microsoft would do

Fromsoft wouldn’t sell. They’re about to launch a new IP and have another game coming out in a few weeks.

Why wouldn’t you wait until your pot is as sweet as possible before selling?

FromSoft fucking sucks. Buy the Konami properties

Because Sony is an evil company and Microsoft is pure and good.

lol all mutt companies are greedy trash. the fuck are you talking about

user, you still need someone to work on those IPs. Would you handle Metal Gear to 343?

MS fucking sucks all their IP are dogshit they even managed turn Halo into shit after Bungie left.

Bloodborne sold 3 million copies to 110 million people. Fromsoft games are fucking garbage.

>Microsoft buys both Konami and Kojima Productions
>gives Metal Gear back to Kojima

I thought Western companies can't acquire Japanese companies

jhooish hands typed this post

I'm a pc player, I don't like when Playstation keeps some of the good shit

i am ok with a company getting punished for its retarded doings.

Why would they buy a company that barely sold their best game on the most popular console

From Microsoftware

I think From are owned by some Japanese holding company who probably aren't interesting of divesting to a US entity that could directly hurt a big Japanese player.

It's so funny how Microcucks don't understand how foolish it is for MS to hedge their bets on ailing Western franchises. The future is weeb games, folks, Western developers are too corporate and politically correct to create good games now. You'll see I'm right in the years to come.

Fuck Sony, that's why

Weeb games are the best. Can't wait to play KH: Melody of Memory, DQ XI S, Scarlet Nexus, Yakuza 7 and Nier: Replicant on my Xbox Series X

foreigners can't buy japanese corporations.

>snoys get fucked
>will be out of amazon/google's reach
>releases will be multiplat +cloud +steam +maybe switch
its a no brainer at this point

Except it isn't.

>Why doesn't Microsoft just buy Fromsoft
Why should they? FS games are multiplats from now on already. Dark Souls trilogy sales quadripled BB and DeS. FS would be dumb to make exclusives for PS from now on.
Tell that to Bethesda with Mikami.

Lesser of two evils. I mean, if Sony eventually drops out and Microsoft gets anti consumer as fuck we know people will call them out on it like last time.
Sony on the other hand always gets a pass for that kind of shit and its had a detrimental effect on the industry.

From is a shitty game company
They make repetitive dark souls game with different skins. Holy shit only I noticed that? wtf They even use the same sounds and sprites. UI is literally the same shit

Kadokawa isn't selling to Microsoft or Sony.

If there is only one company left in the market there is nothing stopping it from going anti comsumer, retard

>WOKE COMPANY BAD
>RICH COMPANY GOOD

one more thing:
>oooh demon souls remake
I finished that game in 2009 thanks

God, you kids are so stupid.
Just because they have money, doesn't mean they can buy any company they want. You have to convince the owners/major shareholders
of the company you want to buy to sell to you.

But you probably love Nintendo

Wrong. Stop believing everything you read on r*ddit.

Yeah I'm sure Bloodborne was such a failure that Sony funded an AAA remake of Demon's Souls. Keep coping and regurgitating that meme though.

coward

This but unironically.

Kek. Based af.

Sony is the trump of Zig Forums
the non whites and trannies pedo hate Sony.

This whole Bethesda thing has proven that the majority of Zig Forums doesn't actually give a shit about quality video games, otherwise they'd be all over Microsoft for acquiring Bethesda, who haven't made a good game in over a decade. Same goes for Obsidian and Rare. What's the point of owning companies when they can't put out decent games? But no, Zig Forums is a board dominated by sales figures, social media, and the eagerly awaited next TORtanic, so a chance to shit on Snoys and act like this is some kind of karmic justice for going woke is way better than Microsoft actually making some decent acquisitions, or better yet, letting third-party devs stay third-party because that what gives them them most artistic freedom and allows more people to play their games.

didn't they specifically mention that they plan to buy even more?

billion dollar deals take time so i would assume they concentrated their efforts with zenimax first

Incorrect. Like almost a third of all Japanese industry has western owners.

Can I get a clear answer on this? Is it really illegal or what’s the deal? Just super hard to do?
