This will have impacts, I just don’t think it’ll be as bad as everyone is thinking. Corporate Japan can be equally hands on and hands off. Fromsoft may be allowed to keep on chugging because they make money.

Fuck Sony and the people that allow this acquisition to go through.

I don’t think people quite grasp how big and terrible this news is. Kadokawa is the entertainment company. You have a favorite anime? It’s probably kadokawa’s or at least related to them some how. You like Japanese jank games? Chunsoft belongs to kadokawa. RPG Maker classics? RPG Maker belongs to kadokawa. Novels? They are a big publisher in addition to owning bookwalker. Not to mention the random shit they have like niconico. Did i mention tourism? Because they have a lot of that too.

This could genuinely be catastrophic for Japanese culture (and that means otaku culture too, weebs)

Sounds like Kadokawa itself should be broken up

Absolutely, but Japan doesn’t exactly have a good view of business and it’s place in society.

Haha man this is why I keep taking longer and longer breaks from gaming. Other hobbies are far more fun now than whatever this (gestures vaguely) is.
