Lmfao

 

[GING-SAMA]

Lol

 

[SCUMMbag]

If some dude on Reddit said it...

 

[Mivey]

I heard it will be a bundle with Take-Two.

And Valve too, their worth plummeted after Epic Games stole their lunch, so it would be insane for Sony to not strike while the iron is hot

 

[QuiteSomething]

Ahahahha yeah no

 

[MakotoYuki]

Sounds too expensive.

 

[Deleted member 543]

They're going to pick up Nintendo too.

 

[Killthee]

2 bullshit "rumors" posted minutes apart... the new year is starting off with a bang!

 

[sleepr]

Bullshit, it's too expensive.

 

[Guymelef]

Take 2, ZeniMax.
Tencent next.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

While I don't believe this for a second, if it did happen, I don't think it would affect PC.

It isn't even 6:00 AM and I am analyzing news I don't even believe. What is wrong with me.

They are pretty big.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

1 lol
2 i coukd believe starfield is canned/on hold and wanna fast track tes6
3 it would be some fuckery on here though if real, ayyy

 

[Radogol]

What are those "Fallout remakes" supposed to be, remasters of 3 and 4 or something way cooler?

 

[MonsterJail]

WET 2 PS5 exclusive, it's a dead cert

 

[Why_So_Serious]

They should also buy Take 2 and Ubisoft while they are at it.

 

[Linus815]

damn, yesterday rockstar games were closing and now this. 2020 is wild yall

 

[vivftp]

They have 7-8 studios.

Never heard of Prey, DOOM, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Fallout, TES?

Click to shrink...

Lol those I've heard of, just wasn't familiar with Zenimax themselves.

Well damn if this is true that would give Sony a buttload of valuable IP to round out their offerings.

 

[PachaelD]

Bullshit, surely? This would be an astounding coup and it would be a huge shame for owners of only other consoles. Hopefully they'd consider PC release.

They do own a lot of great studios though and I think Sony would be very good at helping them achieve their potential.

Monkey's paw: New Sony PC ports will be delivered exclusively through Bethseda (nee Sony) Launcher

 

[antispin]

Good news everybody.

 

[Joni]

Guys, Microsoft is buying Take Two and that is why Sony is doing this! Please give me 5 minutes of attention, I'm more believable than the source of the OP.

 

[captainmal01]

Sony is buying Activision-Blizzard, you heard it first here.
Microsoft to become a subsidiary of Sega.

 

[Kuldar]

Buying one studio from Zenimax why not, but all Zenimax? It feels way to big for a pruchase.

 

[Sheev]

I also heard that Kratos is going to be in Smash too.

 

[Lego Killer Moth]

Lmfao come on

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I also heard that Kratos is going to be in Smash too.

Click to shrink...

Yes.

Once Sony also buys Nintendo.

 

[BaronVonJof]

Not gonna' happen.

 

[Onix555]

Would be an monumental event if true, also extremely fucked up for gaming as well.

 

[vivftp]

Alpha Dog Games
Arkane Studios
Bethesda Softworks
id Software
MachineGames
Roundhouse Studios
Tango Gameworks

LOL

 

[Daggoth]

In hindsight, Sony's E3 conference was AMAZING this year

 

[tomofthepops]

Where did Tim say this ? I mean the guy doesn't really speak about leaks he's heard so if he actually said this then I imagine he believes there's some truth in it.

 

[Danielsan]

Yeah, I don't think so. Would be bonkers if true though.

 

[SPRidley]

Bethesda softworks games without mods to save their ass?

Im for one im actually glad Sony buys them so they are forced to be better or dissapear forever.
Although.... I wouldnt be surprise with new sony they actually let them release the game on PC.

Just change BS Sony, or kill them. You would make the world a favour lol

Losing Doom and Wolfenstein to multiplatform would be shit though.

Of course this is probably fake

 

[Bold One]

The only one worth buying is Arkane.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

lol, back in my day people tried to make their made up rumors somewhat believable

 

[Eroke]

hahaha

 

[FF Seraphim]

Wait... maybe Sony will sell Spiderman back to Disney for 30 Billion then use that to buy up ALL the gaming studios!

 

[Shairi]

Yeah, no way that's happening.

If Sony is really out there trying to purchase a big publisher then it won't be Zenimax.

 

[Kalor]

lol.

 

[Sargerus]

Yeah sure, right after Nintendo buys Ubisoft.

 

[Jegriva]

ID and Arkane, too?

That's some anti-trust-level bullshit, if it's true. That's "Disney buys Fox" if Warner and Universal didn't exist.

Has any platform-holders ever bought a big publisher like this? Usually only AA or emergent studios get bought.

 

[Dr. Ludwig]

I mean they were doing badly after a couple of bombs and flops.

Also, Starfield being a development fuckup wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Grudy]

lmao come on at least try a little bit

 

[HMD]

And why the fuck would they do that?

 

[vegtro]

Needs all of Zenimax to finally make the Remake of Legend of Dragoon.

 

[ThroughtheVoid]

Imagine Sony owning Arkane, sweet jesus that is the good stuff
