According to Reuter's sources, Sony is reportedly in talks to buy Kadokawa who happens to own FromSoftware. Sony, which currently has a market value said to be upwards of $114 billion, already has a 2% stake in the company formed in 1945 which publishes games, anime, and more.

Typo "Edlen ring" in title.

This is probably fallout from that whole $400M "Concord" fiasco.

Concord was pretty much supposed to be the future of Sony's gaming, with spinoffs, communities, etc. etc. everywhere. And when it bombed and was canceled, I guess they figured they would have to buy their way into having that kind of franchise instead.

Elden Ring - I guess - is it.

I don't care who owns what, and I don't even own a dog in this fight, as Elden Ring is not my kind of title, but it sounds a lot like we are entering a new and darker age of even more platform and store exclusives than before, and that I absolutely hate.

Only one way to win the Supply and Demand game; control the supply and inspire the demand.
