    Better title: Kadokawa employees are reportedly “optimistic” about the takeover. Subtitle: Kadokawa owns FromSoftware

    Kadokawa suffered a ransomware cyberattack earlier this year, but employees were left disappointed by the response from current president and CEO Takeshi Natsuno.

    As a result, employees are said to be “thrilled at the prospect of an acquisition by Sony”, according to a new report from Japanese outlet Bunshun (via Automaton).

    HAAHAHAHA, Oh The Onion, you guys are… It’s not The Onion… (for anyone that doesn’t get it, PSN has been hacked a couple of times)

    Anyway, the “thrill” comes from the expectation that the current Kadokawa leadership will get the boot from the acquisition.

    Oh please no. I’m not going to buy an overpriced console just to play their future games.

        The high seas for a PlayStation 6 exclusive release? First, might be a while before piracy on a new console is a viable option, second, an emulator won’t be able to run it for years.

    FUD means “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.” I’m not following how you think that’s what’s happening here? I mean, I think you’re accusing the Kodokawa execs of bullshitting, but what they’re expressing is the opposite of FUD.

      Oh man, people really just repeat phrases without actually understanding what they mean. It’s very fucking annoying. I’ve also seen people refer to literally anything they don’t think is funny as boomer humor, even if it’s like a Gen Z meme.
