This is from their twitter bio. The "fully independent self-funded studio" was not there before. Also, they added it to job listing that didn't have it before.

Bluepoint reaffirms they're "a fully independent self-funded studio" after Sony Japan posted a picture leading to speculation of Sony buying them

Where is this information from? I can't find it in Bluepoint's website.
Edit: Oh, twitter profile.

I still think it's happening. It makes no sense why they would have those images made otherwise. Maybe just waiting for the right time to announce.
It's their Twitter bio.
What fake rumor? the banner itself came from Sony Japan's twitter...
If there hasn't been an acquisition then like, it just has me wondering why Sony had that Bluepoint Twitter image in the first place
An official account accidentally revealing it is a bit more than a rumour, certainly one that will take more than a mispelled Twitter bio to kill.
Is there a link I'm missing? Is it just from a job posting?
Like, this isn't a recent statement they made, or anything?

It wouldn't, but since that's not happening, best not to even go down that pointless rabbit hole.
Not everyone does want it, but for some reason, a lot of people don't seem to care about monopolization.
Yep, it's really sad. Thank you Bluepoint Game for stopping this spread of FAKE NEWS
Imagine this, they're on a call with Sony talking about the next project and the Sony rep is like "Oh yeah! Forget to mention it but we bought you last month"
I'm wholeheartedly against monopolization but how is Sony buying a couple of independent studios monopolization lol
They updated it with it after people pointed out to them that had removed it on job offers.
So it's pretty deliberate. Please tell me how you interpret that.
That's largely what it is. There was one user for instance in the WB thread breathing a sigh of relief that they were 'safe' from being bought while in another thread basically begging Sony to buy the developer of Kena. It's pretty transparent most of the time
I don't know much about negotiations, but why would you wait to announce a deal that is set and, in the meantime, put this in your Twitter bio?
I could forgive someone for adding the wrong logo to promotional material. I could forgive someone for adding the MC from Demon's Souls as it was sold under the PlayStation Studios logo. But together? Absolutely not. It's iron clad. They used the same graphic for the acquisition of Housemarque and Nixxes. I'd put my house on it.
It's not really a fake rumor when the official Playstation JP twitter tweeted a banner which has specifically added Demon's Souls image into a banner that also included Returnal with the Housemarque acquisition that had only just been announced as well, which makes it seem like they had already made another banner that was meant to be used after the Housemarque announcement.
Mistake? It's possible, but seems somewhat weird to make THIS level of a mistake that requires the intentional addition of a completely new studio & their game to a banner that hadn't yet been used before that day.
I guess?
It's kind of hard to dispute its real when the official twitter account uploads it themselves.
I mean, they could change it again just as easily as they did the first time. I don't see this meaning anything at all, it's just a twitter bio...
Misdirection, self-aware internet trolling.
Their Twitter handler knows what they're doing. Always have.
Check out the 'likes' they're making from the account for a good laugh, too.
