Twitter responds to MS buying Bethesda by...asking Sony to buy Konami!

[JumbiePrime]

I swear..I love the internet chaos of console launches!!

 

[DGenerator]

Corporations aren't your friends, as much as The Gamerz™ seem to think so.

 

[kami_sama]

LOL
When your biggest franchise is a spin-off generator I don't think it matters much.

 

[Shaoran Hyku]

This is the most twitter response that you can expect.
People only knows nostalgia it seems

 

[Toumari]

Todd Howard excited for Mircosoft.

 

[vestan]

Cringe

 

[Gay Bowser]

Ahh, yes, Konami, truly the most relevant of all gaming brands.

Rockstar was trending here for the same reason. Oh, gamers.

 

[Tailzo]

How would this help Sony, Konami or gamers?

 

[Vommy]

They got Kojima out of it.

 

[HockeyBird]

Great way to kickoff that line of Last of Us slot machines.

 

[Dogo Mojo]

Do people just not realize that Kojima isn't at Konami anymore?

 

[Derachi]

 

[Forgiven Empathy]

I don't think Sony have interest in buying gyms.

 

[PhotogDoug]

Gamers never disappoint.

 

[gogojira]

Lol Konami. I mean, at least if someone did buy them they might bring some life into that husk.

 

[Poetic Injustice]

lmao Sony isn't in the pachinko business anyways.

 

[Vinc]

Nobody should want acquisitions but the fact that people are clamoring for them makes it feel even more inevitable than it already is.

It's depressing.

This is people's livelihoods, folks.

 

[The Last One]

Konami?

Now that's a name I haven't heard for a long time.

 

[Folie]

Ahh, yes, Konami, truly the most relevant of all gaming brands.

Click to shrink...

Relevant no, but some truly saucy IP to be had there

 

[Shepherd]

Can't wait for the no multiplats future.

/s

 

[Kinthey]

Does Konami even still make games? Would make more sense to buy the IPs

 

[Akai]

I'll never understand people being enthusiastic about companies buying other companies...

 

[Streusel]

Konami doesn't even have many studios besides mobile/Pes, they'd be better off just buying the IPs, and even then, why not just create new ones?

 

[Deleted member 61469]

Why not just Kojima Productions?

 

[The Pet of the Month]

Is that folks on Twitter or Twitter themselves? It looks more like they're summarizing if it's the latter lol

 

[defaltoption]

Why is everything a tit for tat, just buy each console when the price works for you. You don't have to own just one thing then die on that hill.

 

[Jencks]

please i would kill for a god of war pachinko

 

[Phendrift]

I don't like the "buy companies like crazy" thing this has started.

But honestly, anything to get MGS back in the hands of Kojima. This is the one case where I would be so happy.

 

[TheChungusAmongUs]

This is a dumb response to the news today, but I would be lying if I didn't say I would at least like someone to take those IPs Konami is sitting on and actually do something with them.

 

[jroc74]

lol, calm down ppl.

Let's not give them any ideas.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Konami would be such a stupid investment for any company. They don't even have the staff necessary to make games anymore so you would just be buying a bunch of unattended IP.

 

[daninthemix]

Unlike the Bethesda aquisition, this is just Internet blabber.

 

[BasilZero]

The want for PachinkoStation must stop at all costs

 

[SanTheSly]

Gamers.

 

[TheKeipatzy]

Fuck Konami. I mean maybe buy the IPs? But ehh?

 

[Deleted member 45130]

I mean, do the majority of Twitter know that the best part of Konami is now its own studio?

 

[Oreiller]

Console wars are going to become worse and worse aren't they?

 

[crimilde]

i mean the IPs are awesome, but I don't see Sony going into pachinko territory.

 

[Deleted member 864]

Sony needs to invest in the pachinko business I guess.

 

[ianpm31]

It's cool when you buy studios etc but outright buying publishers is going to create an arms race. I can almost bet you Sony will inquire about purchasing Capcom or Square. Not good for the industry.

LOL not sure why Konami is brought up on Twitter.

 

[Mandos]

I mean Konami has more old school ips that are more valuable to say Nintendo, heck they should just sell them the hudsonsoft ips.

not that any of this will happen

 

[Hazzuh]

It is really, deeply, pathetic to be a fanboy for a giant corporate conglomerate.

 

[TheChrisGlass]

Just a reminder, because I like repeating it through all the mockery:

Konami released more video games in 2019 than Activision

 

[Cuyeo]

That would be like throwing money to a bottomless pit. Don't get me wrong, Konami's got some of the greatest gaming's IP ever, it's just modern Konami would require a great restructuring to be back on track.

 

[Batatina]

Buying Capcom would be a more equivalent trade. But it's not going to happen not does it need to.

 

[Callibretto]

That would be the worst purchase. Does Konami even have active AAA developer anymore?

 

[SharpX68K]

Sony should buy SE, not Konami LOL.

 

[P-Bo]

Whatever gets them back into game development, I guess.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

lol, it doesn't work like that.

 

[darthpaxton]

This would be a disaster for PlayStation, in my opinion. Say they were feeling frisky and went out and offered someone like Capcom or Konami $10 billion. Do you not think that Capcom is going to turn right around, go to Xbox, and tell them that they're selling to Sony for $10 billion if Microsoft doesn't outbid them? What if Xbox offers them $12 billion and Sony can't match or outbid them? People downplayed the "Microsoft Warchest" for years, but it is very real. It's honestly best for Sony to not tempt fate by going out looking for a deal and they have no need. Buying a third-party publisher doesn't match Sony's strategy at all.
