>>1041212 Oh please god no. Sony's already shit as it is, I don't want to see them buy out Kadokawa and force their DEI nonsense onto countless anime and manga. If this actually does go through, I hope it wakes the Jap populace up as to how much DEI already sank its fangs into their culture, and not just western shit that uses their culture like AssCreed Shadows or the upcoming Ghost of Yotei, so they can understand just how fucked things are and push back against Blackrock and other companies like them getting more ground in Japan before things get even worse.

Does Sony overall seem to show pozz, or is it just the vidya and movie divisions? Of course it's easier to spot in entertainment divisions, but are their Japanese insurance or electronics divisions known for DEI hiring practices or anything? Either way, it sure seems like they're overextending themselves given that they have many divisions that keep losing money hand over fist. So I don't personally care about this much since it seems likely to just bite them in the ass.

I'd like to thank the mods for annihilating shitpill's attempts at his usual shenanigans before they're barely on the board, he's really seething over being so shut down this time >>1041220 They >produce semiconducters >provide financial services >are a music publisher >make movies Though their gaming sector, which is by far their biggest, "only" composes 28% of their revenue. Their second biggest sector is electronics, but I don't know if that includes PlayStation, VR, etc.

>>1041227 don't you mean piss5? Since piss4 came out in like what 2008? >>1041351 Everything Sony has made for years that's animated, movies, games etc have been pozzed to hell & back. Need i remind you of any recent capeshit flicks both 3dcg & 3dpd? They've not only gotten progressively worse Soyny is pushing Miles NIGGER le ebin Morales constantly doing what they can do destroy anything Parker had as a person.

>>1041356 The camera division so large it was forced into a seperate company as well. Many generic devices like dashcams use a sony sensor.

>>1041351 Their anime stuff is fine, it really depends on where the HQ is located

new information, it seems like we actually lucked out as Kadokawa was looking to sellout, but went with Sony instead of Tencent.

>>1041382 >because I might wake up to trannyflag DLC and an easy mode in an upcoming Souls game. I wouldn't worry because if that came down from corporate then Miyazaki and friends would probably fuck off and start their own Souls company.

>>1041380 >Kadokawa was considering Tencent before going with Sony Well, looks like Kadokawa was fucked either way. Hopefully whatever happens to them is the best case scenario. Worst comes to worst, at least the Kemono Friends fanbase gets some catharsis.

>>1041386 >"Porn addicts will never be game devs" >Yoko "Send 2B porn in the archive please thank you" Taro Is this hypocrisy or inferiority?

>>1041390 >at least the Kemono Friends fanbase gets some catharsis. Oh you have no idea

>>1041380 I'm going to argue some counterpoints. >For all its faults Tencent is USUALLY hands off and it coincidentally picks Western companies compromised by ideological cancer. That doesn't mean that Japanese owners who willingly sell out to foreign countries aren't complete fucking scum, but China right now is basically looking to pull out of foreign investment now that Wukong monkey game has renewed confidence in domestic game production, seeing as Tencent's money was only to hedge against the CCP banning video games altogether. That's a low probability since one push to do that nearly crashed the economy. Kadokawa would never have found a CN buyer and JP Xitter doesn't know what the fuck it's talking about. <Meanwhile Sony is HEAVILY interventionist in its management. Some people may say, "they don't touch companies like Notes Co. Ltd. (the Fate guys)" and they may very well be right. But for every Sono Bisque Doll and Kunoichi Tsubaki there's a Lycoris Recoil (don't you nips wanna watch a black homo) and Senpai wa Otokonoko lying in wait. They closed down Right Stuf, and guess who has fingers in the merch business? That's right, Kadokawa. In other words Sony would be a more Chinese company than Chinese companies. <The reason a lot of Japanese management are being uncharacteristically fucking stoopid is that the shitty fucking brain-damaged boomers in the LDP actually bought the lie that the ESG/DEI scam was free money the West/(((Jews))) were handing out. See the rash of nuisance streamers and tourism that the citizens have been talking about for a year ever since the Kishida regime (lowest approval ratings in history) stupidly relaxed regulations on foreigners, leading to wonderful headlines like Johnny Somali, the Delgado Douyin clip where a nog looked up a schoolgirl's skirt and an American fatso defacing a Shinto shrine. Ishiba being elected is not much better as he was only chosen because he was seen as distanced from the LDP's slush fund, only for the public to see him fall asleep during a session Biden-style. Needless to say Japan's citizens are quickly learning that dipping your toes into the globohomo acid bath hurts just as much as fully bathing in it. >On a more positive note said redpilling means a greater understanding of globohomo and the JQ that will BTFO all ugly Jews in the future. <As for Kadokawa's own issues, the successor basically got arrested over the Tokyo 2020 Olympics that never came to be because of globohomo, alleged of offering bribes that are still being investigated to this day. The management is severely out of touch, see the censorship incident and the push for ESG while simultaneously attempting to get otaku to be retail investors. And lastly the Niconico hack certainly didn't help matters. Kadokawa's main strength over Sony is that it respects creators' ownership in most cases (obviously not true for Tatsuki), so a small consolation is that an attempt at monopolizing will instead result in the existing talent just moving to smaller domestic competitors. Still, Sony owning Niconico just feels wrong.

>>1041431 Generally, I'd agree but like you said in your post. China got more confident with Wu Kong and will try policing shit in the future, just look what happened with Snowbreak and how they got censored by the government for appealing to their userbase. I think if it was Sony VS Tencent then I'd rather have Sony since despite having the occasional DEI oddity like Dragon's Dogma 2 had with one of it's major characters, Lycoris Recoil was a really solid anime and generally I don't mind having black characters in entertainment if they're done right. Even with Recoil you can make the argument that they made him fit pretty well despite Japan not having many blacks in the first place.

>>1041220 Movies, insurance, hardware, anime, banking. Sony could very easily become Japan's Samsung.

he's starting up again

Willy do be getting his posts from cuckchan he should stay there.

Isn't blackpill also LCP? He's just a pedo seething that the site won't allow CP like the schizo loser he is.

>>1041535 I think, but I've only ever seen that said once. He's definitely Lucanio, as discovered by a few instances of him forgetting to IP hop. I don't know what the fuck his Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde shtick is about.

Drown yourself in semen

>>1041380 >Sony instead of Tencent. Same cancer.

>>1041365 >Since piss4 came out in like what 2008? 2013. The piss3 would've still been active at that time since 2006.

>>1041546 They're not the same cancer, Sony is worse than Tencent. Sony's terminal cancer. Since 2016 and the Californian headquartering of their games branch Sony Interactive Entertainment, the Californians there made Sony games woke. Tencent is Chinese and, despite contrary niggerpilling, Asians aren't as woke. The Chinese and Japanese aren't as woke. I don't mean there's no social justice, but there's not as much. Japanese and Chinese are less interested. California's the most woke state, woker than any country, and poisons its media worse than anyone. Hollywood is California. Silicon Valley is California. California is the headquartering, and the frontline, of social justice. Tencent likes malware, but Sony likes malware, too. They're a leader in adding invasive anticheats to PC games, like when a Steam user caught Sony Interactive Entertainment's "Days Gone" tracking every keystroke you make on your computer while the game is running. And remember the Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal? >Copy protection measures on about 22 million CDs distributed by Sony BMG installed one of two pieces of software that provided a form of digital rights management (DRM) by modifying the operating system to interfere with CD copying. Neither program could easily be uninstalled, and they created vulnerabilities that were exploited by unrelated malware. One of the programs would install and "phone home" with reports on the user's private listening habits, even if the user refused its end-user license agreement (EULA), while the other was not mentioned in the EULA at all. Both programs contained code from several pieces of copylefted free software in an apparent infringement of copyright, and configured the operating system to hide the software's existence, leading to both programs being classified as rootkits. Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released an uninstaller for one of the programs that merely made the program's files invisible while also installing additional software that could not be easily removed, collected an email address from the user and introduced further security vulnerabilities.

>>1041564 "Sony and Tencent, same cancer" is niggerpill, you're replying to niggerpill, niggerpill always answers "how bad is this, 1-100" with "100." Everything's 100-bad to niggerpill so everything's the same to niggerpill. Sony and Tencent, Trump and Kamala, Japan and California, all 100-bad to niggerpill, all the same to niggerpill. Anything means end times to niggerpill. Now that you know, don't reply to him.

>>1041564 >Tencent is Chinese and, despite contrary niggerpilling, Asians aren't as woke. Yes, they are. The only different is that West Taiwan already had their cultural revolution under MaoMao. The West still has yet to undergo the process. This is why Snowy looks "worse" by comparison, but the reality of the situation is that the end goal for either group is the same. It's like asking if you want to have sex with a women after she's already contracted AIDs (West Taiwan a& Tencent) or go to a party where you have the almost certain chance of getting AIDs as a result of going (Soyny and Silicon Valley). Either way, you're still contracting AIDs.

There are some articles on the acquisition of KADOKAWA Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") by Sony Group Inc. However, this information is not announced by the Company. The Company has received an initial letter of intent to acquire the Company's shares, but no decision has been made at this time. If there are any facts that should be announced in the future, we will make an announcement in a timely and appropriate manner. End of document

>>1041564 >>1041620 The entertainment in East Asia isn't as woke. By "woke" I mean "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, feminist, misandrist, diverse, disabled, blacked, and progressive, with ugly women because beauty standards bad." Soyny entertainment's way more woke than East Asian games from China and Japan, and the contrast is stark. It's like having sex with a woman who has herpes (East Asia) or with a woman who's contracted AIDS (West). That woke is a step in a cultural revolution less needed in China is true, it's why entertainment's not as woke there.

>>1041601 >niggerpill always answers "how bad is this, 1-100" with "100." Everything's 100-bad to niggerpill so everything's the same to niggerpill

>>1041629 Snoy Interactive, the PlayStation HQ people are talking about, is in California. The comparison is California and East Asia, not the West and East Asia. This is important, your definition of woke makes Californian games, thus Snoy games, MUCH more woke than Western games, and Western games more woke than East Asian games.

>>1041629 >By "woke" I mean "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, feminist, misandrist, diverse, disabled, blacked, and progressive, with ugly women because beauty standards bad." Except that's exactly what West Taiwan was doing during the Cultural Revolution.

>>1041212 If Sony owns Kadokawa Sony would own FromSoft and Spike Chunsoft and Kadokawa Games, so Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. Which of these games does Sony own if Sony owns Kadokawa? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FromSoftware#Games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Chunsoft#Developed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Kadokawa_Shoten_games

>>1041907 Both are equally inferior to the Greek one :^}

>>1041907 >Akira Toriyama <Only remembered by his mediocre shonen anime <Fans turned on him, shitting on his legacy once they fell into the rabbi's hole To think My Hero Academia's creator is going to face the same fate and that's because he had the brilliant idea of making a capeshit inspired anime in which attracted the worst kind of dykes and faggots who keep bitching that the female characters are sexualized while ignoring it's a NTR in disguise.

how would Sony even pay for this? debt that Kadokawa would then need to pay off for it's own sale? Sony has done nothing but bleed money for years the only reason it's stock price is not in the toilet is boomers don't realize consoles are dead yet.

>>1041989 god, i wish i could say I was the one who scammed sony

>>1041989 Maybe the same way the glazers bought Manchester Utd?
