This was informative. Did end up Wiking how many companies Kadokawa actually owns and can understand much better why Sony would want them. I know people keep focusing on the FromSoftware part, but they wouldn't go this far just for that one company.

I think this reflects a larger trend of large businesses trying to create closed ecosystems. The less you have to outsource, the more money you can keep and the more control you can exert on the consumer.

When do we think someone makes a move to buy Naro?

No mention of South Korea's Kakao been on a bit of a expansion in their share-ownership in Kadokawa?

i'm glad they did an answerman on this topic as they always tend to be solid explanation. However i have to admit as someone with autism & ADHD it still is a bit difficult for me to get used to the new guy as Justin Sevakis was always like a big brother to me.
