I could give to $hits about King's acquisitions, this is for the people who actually care about the gaming industry is the biggest and most important one.

Not throw billions on a mobile game. SMH.

@Dark- remove your emotions bud. This is merely looking at it from a business perspective. I don't play mobile games, that doesn't mean it wasn't a big deal.

I'm sorry but mobile games are still games. I love MGS games too, but I'm not just going to ignorantly pretend mobile gaming isn't a thing, just cause I like MGS series.

Separate the two bud, you legit can't keep adding so much personal, emotional feelings into discussions due to what you like playing.

I never stated this was based on "people who actually care" about anything.

Business, legit learn to not interject personal feelings into such things, what I'm saying isn't really about how I feel personally about mobile or AAA etc.

Even in that regard...someone cares about mobile too bud, sorry but those numbers don't lie about mobile gamers, they are gamers too.

"I could give to $hits about" Who stated you needed to? Do I need to LOVE KFC to praise a very sound and smart business move? Its irrelevant.

Again...what I'm stating is in regards to business, not my personal feelings. I own MGSV, day 1, I own no mobile games lol. I don't even care for MS as a publisher and I praised their Minecraft move, it was brilliant and an ace buy up. I'm unbiased in such situations as what I'm talking about is merely the business perspective, not personal.

Agreed, I think we all want to know just how much money Sony offered, they are publishing too. I know other publishers likely came in with millions in mind lol

Kojima is saying its due to the relationship with Sony, which I don't disagree to a degree, but I feel they likely came in with a better number.

We all want to know those details doe! lol

"Kojima is saying its due to the relationship with Sony, which I don't disagree to a degree, but I feel they likely came in with a better number. "

I dont believe that. MS for example could have beat their offer, we keep being reminded how rich they are and how rich Sony arent.

Its like saying I can make a square peg go in a round hole better because Im pushing harder, when in reality a round peg is just a better fit.

Personally I think Kojima is just going where he wanted to be all along, to worry less about different configurations and worry more about the game.

@Bathyj, MS didn't even put up money for one of their own studios (Bioware).
They probably didn't try for Kojima either especially since the games he makes do not suit the Xbox fan base.
