    Microsoft was actually a Sony plant all along, intended to buy up all their competition in the gaming sector and then go out of business.

    I bet they’ll send their ceos to another sting concert though… don’t worry about their mental health guys.

    Didn’t Microsoft just buy out a huge game studio? And then they’re doing layoffs?

    Quit from these fucking companies already before we make them self sufficient enough to leave us behind on this rock ffs

    Would be a great time for Sony to acquire essentially the entire studio for $0, simply paying for their salary (won’t even need relocation since it is already based in Tokyo, they could probably just reuse the same office space).

    They would not even need to think of a game, simply focus on the planned sequel to hi-fi rush (obviously with different name but keeping the same core idea that was proposed for the sequel) and release it as a Sony exclusive.

      Can we maybe shut the fuck up with the fanboyism for a moment?

      Especialy since these layoffs are due in no small part, to MS buying basically every studio they could for a few years.

        I’ve never played a Sony game or owned a Sony console. I’m simply stating how a major japan-based company could save a young studio from completely disintegrating, allowing them to realize what could be a promising new IP. Also Sony could easily spinoff the studio once they’ve gained a certain size/reputation (they have spinoffed subsidiaries like financial services last year). Oth Microsoft would never spinoff any game company (they’d rather shut the whole thing down).
