Natural conclusion of the gaming industry. Everyone gets absorbed by one of the big fish at some point.
Half a century ago, when Marx was writing Capital, free competition appeared to the overwhelming majority of economists to be a “natural law”. Official science tried, by a conspiracy of silence, to kill the works of Marx, who by a theoretical and historical analysis of capitalism had proved that free competition gives rise to the concentration of production, which, in turn, at a certain stage of development, leads to monopoly. Today, monopoly has become a fact. Economists are writing mountains of books in which they describe the diverse manifestations of monopoly, and continue to declare in chorus that “Marxism is refuted”. But facts are stubborn things, as the English proverb says, and they have to be reckoned with, whether we like it or not. The facts show that differences between capitalist countries, e.g., in the matter of protection or free trade, only give rise to insignificant variations in the form of monopolies or in the moment of their appearance; and that the rise of monopolies, as the result of the concentration of production, is a general and fundamental law of the present stage of development of capitalism.
Marx didn't fail to consider the gaming industry.
On the one hand, it's the end of an era for a very beloved side of gaming.
On the other hand, a lot of "deeply thoughtful" Fromsoft video essayists are going to be very mad 
Fromsoft went woke noooooooo!
From can buy their shares back. The bigger story is the effective monopoly Sony would have on anime after this.
Huh, didn't know Kadokawa had a controlling interest in From. I imagine this has more to do with the anime/manga side of things, and that From is just the cherry on top. Oh well, we had a good run!
If it makes gamers suffer.... Good
We won't stop until we butcher every From Software game or our demands are met
If from soft games stop coming to PC day one I am finished with videogames
:o based
They’ll never port Bloodborne or the Demon’s Souls remake
It's funny: I can't stand soulslikes; mostly bc of their playerbase-- but I always swore that Bloodborne was the only one I'd give a shake if it ever came to PC.
From's recalcitrance to putting the only soulslike I've ever see with an aesthetic I'd care to sit through on multiple platforms has pretty much been saving me from the "gitgud" bros and difficulty cliff fetishists
I don't care about the shitty Demon Souls remake, but the way they've completely forgot about Bloodborne is just a fucking joke. Sony fundamentally doesn't care about games. They'll put money into stupid senseless remakes and port games to PC only if they think it increases the worth of their intellectual properties. The only reason they ever even financed Bloodborne was because they needed something to get "serious" gamers to become early adopters of the PS4. They half assed it the second time around with the terrible demon souls remake (which they won't make again either, since they've definitely realized that there is no need to pander to core gamers anymore).
Whereas Nintendo buying it
