Oh well, end of an era. If it actually go through, we won't have good souls games anymore from them.
That's not just what's at stake. Kadokawa is a massive company and this will hurt industries from books to anime to game development outside of fromsoft. On the publishing and consumer facing sides, btw. Apparently they even own a few scientific and tourism endeavors!
This is the end of an era the way the dark ages were, not the way the end of CGDCT in favor of isekai was
Yeah, i researched a bit what they do and it's worse than I anticipated.
This could unironically be a dark age for Japanese culture, if our experience with sony in Western circles is indicative of anything
Sony is hot garbage in a bad way
