Summary

FromSoftware fans are up in arms over Sony's potential acquisition of parent company Kadokawa Group, which could see the developer become a PlayStation first-party studio.
Fans are calling on each other to "openly and aggressively oppose", worried that it could potentially "ruin" FromSoftware.
Others are concerned about FromSoftware's potential loss of creative control, while there are also fears that FromSoftware's future games will be made PlayStation exclusives.

Earlier today, it was reported that Play♋Station owner Sony is in talks with FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa Group about a potential acquisiti💞on. That w𝕴ould be an absolutely huge move in the gaming industry, as Kadokawa Group has multiple high-profile developers under its belt, and it would likely make FromSoftware 𒆙a first-party PlayStation studio.

Talks are apparently ongoing, with a potential deal to be closed "in the coming weeks", and if 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation did bring a developer as illustrious as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:FromSoftware under its umbrella, that would benefit the platform massively. That does seem to be the only party thatℱ the deal would benefit though, as shortly after this news was made public, FromSoftware fans have been up in arms and extremely ag⛎ainst the whole thing.

Another big worry is Sony potentially making FromSoftware's future titles exclusive to PlayStation, which was explained by a user called Luckysyd in

In this thread, a user called DatPulover is worried that FromSoftware could lose its "creativity, quality, and freedom" if it were to be owned by Sony, and wants the studio to "remain as it is". There are some people convinced that FromSoftware wouldn't change all that much, even if it were to become a PlayStation first-party studio, though ♛it's clear there's very little love for Sony or PlayStation a𝔍mong the FromSoftware faithful.
