It's going be Capcom right?
It's going be Capcom right?
Capcom wouldn't sell, they're on the rise. Ubisoft is the most likely choice.
Capcom has to go with it as they aren't a publicly-traded company.
This
Ubisoft is soulless enough to sell. They only see games as a vector for making money.
Isn't there pretty strict laws in Japan on foreign companies buying Japanese companies?
WHAT IS TENCENT'S ENDGAME
What? You got that exactly wrong, it's the opposite. Only publicly traded companies can be force-bought, because their shares are on the market. A private company has literally no shares on the market, the only way to acquire them is to cut a direct deal with the current owners
Having a League in every genre.
When they bought their Epic shares, there was heavy pressure for the Paragon devs to re-hape it into a proto-overwatch, because it was a conflict of interest in league.
Tencent are going to go through this a lot if they continually want to kirby up companies. It might actually start doing them more damage.
Capcom is in Fortnite now, make of that what you will
Only if it's a hostile takeover.
And the company that invented on-disc DLC doesn't?
meant for
Chinese influence is better than Californian influence.
china will end jews
They're a state based company. They're partially controlled by the Chinese Government.
So likely control and enforcement of their own 'morals' and appeals.
Basically, power.
>entire government takeover and world domination is better than censoring thighs
I disagree. China is largely soulless. Out of all the games they've produced, created or whatever else in the last twenty years, only a select few have had any real worth.
Californian and the kikes although also a cancerous husk, at least pushes out some quality more frequently.
The optimal solution would be the death of both, but that's never going to happen.
Fuck off.
I like spooky skeletons in my games even if they're the most generic type of enemy in vidya.
americans go into a full blown mental breakdown when faced with the possibility of being culturally colonized like they did the rest of the world after WW2
I pray every night that a meteorite strikes Shanghai or Beijing
>League in every genre
this. League and the accessibility to competitive draws almost all crowds to a game because it gives them a means to compete, when in reality it means nothing and takes away time from your life clock. Games like league aren't valuable even if you are good at it, you lose time an asset that is invaluable. Tencent and the gacha/f2p format know that time is important and they want to capitalize on people's lifestyle, thats why the games are half-baked or copypastas. They know that "Free" means taking time away from a consumer. nothing is ever free.
Most people think
>oh the game is free, I choose whenever I want to spend money on cosmetics or whatever in game service it has.
>Dude, the game is free we can play it after class or at home, all the time
>oh it has a pass, monthly sub payment though, eh its still free, it comes with exclusives, eh might as well
>Man, I'm really good at this game and its free, maybe I should stream it and make it my life's purpose/work (time and growth taken for short lived investment and long term decline)
These companies know this, whenever they get a patent on a business model or even developing a game/app, they run it by a psychologist of some sort of consultant that assists them into making a product/service that literally activate your neurons-type shit into buying into a free game.
Time is an important asset to our lives and most people are ok with it being taken away nowadays by this kind of media.
Whats more flattering to a creator of a game
>(you) taking time out of your day to play it, sometimes for longer sessions, replaying it over and over for stats or whatever etc.
>(you) dedicating yourself to their brand
>(you) spreading good word of them and humbling praise to them on social media including fanart and other types of display of appreciation
Shit's different nowadays, but with a new coat of paint.
America is still 3+ decades ahead of China(which is just an American corporate country)
Yeah, I know. I guess it's because you can read my post two ways.
"Capcom has to go with it" as in they have to indulge. They can't be bought if they don't go with it.
My bad.
its krafton, they already tried to buy them before
PUBG is one of the biggest mobile games
yeah you should put that time into raising the bottom line of an equally soulless "american" corporation instead
>loan
I wonder when the first crypto purchase of a company is happening.
Don't mix up their jew fighting game division under Ono with the good devs.
EA
California makes movies with the lowest common denominator characters and gameplay and gives women breast reduction surgery, China makes great coomer girls but they all have the soulless I just had cosmetic surgery in Korea design and they're incapable of any gameplay that isn't action RPG or bottom tier action aside from gatcha shit. Their graphical style has also become the defacto outsourced to China soulless meme.
In an ideal world China knocks out California's market then collapses in itself from instability freeing their coomer artists to work with non Chinese developers and gain some variance in artistic vision.
at least you're making money during that time though. inb4
>what kind of shit money
its better than wasting time on a pointless "soulless" game that makes you zero, for sure.
The value of entertainment is just that, the entertainment you get out of it, not something physical. This has been true since the dawn of time, from theater to gladiatorial games, to books and movies.
great, the chinks have found the one way to make EA worse
no, it means no more sjw
>implying China doesnt censor sexy designs.
You're clearly new.
sjw crap is unironically better than chink slavery to Xi
>china good
>commiefornia bad
why are south american allowed to breath my air?
So is the final outcome of gaming just Microshaft, Snoy, Tenjew and Nintendies owning and operating everything?
anything tencent has been doing in the west is better than what EA has been doing
Can you even imagine?

What is that? I don’t play Fortnite.
Didn't Ubisoft fight tooth and nail to not be bought by Vivendi a few years ago?`
arr rook same
Oh wow one example. It's easy to cherrypick chang.
>riot games is based in los angeles california america
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK Dab Forums YOU TOLD ME CALIFORNIA ONLY DOES TRANNIES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yeah it is
apple's worth like 2 trillion isn't it
two thousand billion
however, the value of entertainment has a price tag to it. I guess you're looking at it for its intrinsic value, but essentially time is something you lose gradually, its what you do with that time that really matters, either you waste it remaining stagnant or you grow with time. entertainment is not free by any means, you exchange something for its service. Can't understand why you chose to go that route for supporting these kinds of practices. but i feel like you have a "Stake" to these kinds of games and practices? i'm curious at this point.
If you think anime censorship is the worst thing California has done to the world, you don't know anything about California. They're directly responsible for the downfall of the West.
Hot.
1.4 trillion right now.
A bit over it by now. They hit the 2tn mark last august.
So are Disney, DC, Microsoft, Sony...
Yeah, my stake is that I enjoy them and would like to continue enjoying them. And I don't mind putting my time, or for that matter money, into it, because that's time spent on something I enjoy in one way or another.
I'm no Chinaman architect, but I'm pretty sure buildings aren't supposed to be made of flaky pastry.

This is just crazy. So much capital.
>Stage 4 cancer is better than AIDS
They're both shit.
How do you have to "fight tooth and nail" to NOT be bought?
If you own the company and someone asks to buy you, just say no, bro.
So soon, Sony will have to compete with another giant tech corp.
They are absolutely fucking fucked
you're right
unreasonable amount of money
if it was divided up evenly between it's (just under) 150,000 employees
they would get $133,333 a year each, for 100 years
Oh, you wish. Google pulled out but Huawei is coming too.
Tencent is actually a quality company compared to those guys
>infect the world with batflu
>as a reward you are allowed to buy everything in the world while the west is hurting financially
china unironically deserves to be nuked
It must feel really good to peel that off.
All that fake Chinese gold
Fucking hell.
>replacing one kind of cancer with another is better!
No.
China is an authoritarian shit hole
This is why I don't worry about China. They can't do anything on their own. They're too lazy and incompetent. The west is still carrying them today as much as it was 100 years ago. People act like the west is kissing China's ass because they're such a big bad scary country. No, it's because there's literally a billion retards living there that love buying western shit.
Tencent is shit
Can we just ban chink companies from trading with US and allies firms?
The evil council is based in china and will soon rise to world domination
You guys are morons, Ubisoft is worth twice as much as Capcom. Capcom almost went bankrupt 5 years ago
Outjew the jews. I'm not even making this up, there were articles about chinese studying jewish tactics in subversion and infiltration into key sectors. And they've been doing an excellent job so far with only Trump having the balls to tell them to fuck off but now it's over and they are free to take over the world. EU could technically stand up against them but they're giga cuckolds.
>If you own the company and someone asks to buy you, just say no, bro.
thats not how it works at all but I applaud you for trying, kid
Actually, it is most of the time. Hostile takeovers are only possible when the retards have sold off so much of their own company they no longer have majority ownership. That was Ubisoft's problem. They had to beg the shareholders not to sell because they didn't retain ownership of enough of their own company that it wouldn't matter who owned the public shares.
There are of course many things to consider when you receive such a proposition but if your company is private you are free to tell them to fuck off.
that's without figuring out year over year inflation or investment opportunities
It's basically neuroscience behind gamification. All these games and ecosystems that support them are designed to trick you into thinking all this worthless shit is worth something whether it's gacha design or trophies/achievements. In their design gamers are literally skinner's rats addicted to dopamine and serotonin hits.
Hostile take overs only. Current government imposes a 10% stake rule but the Diet can override it if they think there would be growth benefits to it and if the company has an established presence in Japan. The law is very much to keep Tencent out.
Capcom were reportedly very, very close to selling to Microsoft in early 2018 and the Tsujimoto family had the deal as back up plan if Monster Hunter World didn't succeed. MHW did succeed, especially the PC version (MS convinced them to make it multiplat) and it saved the company.
