I don't think they've gotten a 14% single day boost in the market off a single article. Companies can get into trouble for riding off of false or misleading information.
EDIT: Plus they may be in a different situation, who knows?
Sega has not had a official report that a acquisition is happening the way "this" did. All the sega talk has been op-ed speculation essentially.
Because their shareholders don't hear forum wishes, a Bloomberg post on the otherhand they will, so kill it quick.
Thank god man, that thread was the worst news to wake up to.
Fuck the people that wanted this to happen.
Fuck the people that wanted this to happen.
There hasn't been anything as 'concrete' as a Bloomberg article with SEGA, just a bunch of fanboys on the internet speculating, hoping, praying and trying to find clues in everything that SEGA or Xbox does.
Yeah, how reliable even is this "Square-Enix" anyway? They ever leaked 1 game for PS+?
You are doing the whole resetera thing wrong
On topic: That's awesome to hear
Am I trying too much to read between the lines if I interpret this as:
we would "consider selling off the company or any part of its businesses" if we receive "any offer from any third party to acquire the company or any part of its businesses" (but until now we are just talking, no offer has been made yet).
we would "consider selling off the company or any part of its businesses" if we receive "any offer from any third party to acquire the company or any part of its businesses" (but until now we are just talking, no offer has been made yet).
I'm pretty sure them lying like that would be some sort of market manipulation, which is a pretty big no-no legally speaking.
This doesn't preclude an acquisition by the way. They had to react due to the stock. Bloomberg never reported that anyone had made an offer or that they were in talks. Just that companies are showing informal interest. I personally can't see an acquisition offer being imminent l. But this statement isn't a case closed situation like some are reading it to be.
Need to cover every scenario so they have a tweet to reference if one of them plays out.
Well, if enough money is on the table, why couldn't Square break the a law a little.
Maybe playing a bit dirty like this makes them even more appealing to Sony?
*starts writing Sony / SquareEnix fiction*
Sega never had more of a rumor than some no name youtube/twitter accounts claiming to somehow have corporate M&A information.
SE actually had a legitimate report now, although it seems to have been wrong/potentially illegal market manipulation by a shareholder.
