Kadokawa is a massive publisher of books and media in Japan.
For that reason alone I hope this is blocked. It would make Sony too huge in Japan to reasonably compete with outside of Shueisha and directly incentivize brand exclusivity deals.
Please no
Please don’t
This would be massive, Kadokawa is a hell of a lot more than just Elden Ring. They’re one of the biggest media publishers in Japan. Books, manga, anime, games, you name it.
