I mean it might mean we get better PC versions but it may also mean they come out months or years later.
Rumor: Sony is considering buying FromSoftware (misread of tweets)

Pc will be fine. Regardless of what Microsoft and Sony do these days, PC won't lose out
Would make a ton of sense, honestly. I can't imagine the quality of production modern FROM could achieve with the backing of Sony.
'Talks' go on all the time judging by what we've heard before of talks that went nowhere. I'd almost be more surprised if there wasn't some level of talks between various different parties and From/Kadakowa, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything will come of them.
Uh, who? Fromsoft is owned by a massive corporation with products that extend far outside video games.
Anyone who wants Fromsoft would either have to buy Kadokawa (not happening), or somehow hypnotized Kadokawa execs into selling Fromsoft.
I reallllllly don't see this happening.

Given the way From's games run at launch, would that necessarily be a bad thing?

He is not an insider. He's speaking about it being a target based on those various dumb rumors we've seen online. But at least now we'll get another fresh rounds of clickbait websites using his tweets as big insider news.

This guy?
It would be bizarre if any games company on an acquisition binge (Microsoft, Sony, Embracer, Tencent) weren't trying to find a way of getting From Software.
They are completely unmatched in terms of being able to deliver consistent top quality games on relatively short development times.

Wahoo, a new acquisition rumor thread! Seeing FromSoft acquired would be pretty sad. They're firing on all cylinders lately. Locking half (or a third, or whatever) the market out would be a bummer, considering they don't appear to be hurting for money.
What is the reason Kadokawa would even sell? Unless Sony is paying some absurd price 5-10x worth there's no reason.
Kadokawa is steadily releasing games themselves, so they're in the gaming market, and From must be a huge revenue source for them. It'd just be weird for them to give From up without a proper reason.

Sony owns Demon's Souls and Bloodborne
From owns Sekiro and Armored Core
Bamco owns Dark Souls and Elden Ring (but I think they can't make sequels without From)
Well I would prefer they don't get bought by anyone but if someone does I guess Sony is my preference but again, how about no one does that.
From Software is not independent though, they're already owned by a company.
I'm not really seeing a reason why Kadokawa would sell a company that is earning them so much right now. Sure, they could demand a ridiculous fee (one that Sony may even pay), but that's a one time sum. Is the golden egg better than the goose that lays them?
Granted, one dud game from From could also ruin them, so it removes the risk from Kadokawa. Still, I would think the price would be more than Sony could reasonably afford at this point, especially after Elden Ring's success.

To be fair, March 2020 was an eternity ago in many ways.
