One company acquiring another is never as simple as an accepted offer and paperwork.
Top officials have held internal meetings to assess whether Tencent's investments in U.S. and Finnish gaming firms pose a national security risk, the newspaper said, citing several people familiar with the deliberations.
So big dumb orange man and his total disregard for the constitution has a say on this? Man just GTFO.
Nacon: "We are choosing to focus our resources on upcoming releases and the development of our current games"
Bandai Namco will announce a new RPG on March 5 at 3:00 p.m. PT / 6:00 p.m. ET, the company teased. You will be able to watch the announcement on YouTube.
it better be, Tales of Arise was awesome. I hope they can make combat bit more tight and tough on harder difficulties
The gameplay and graphics of Arise are awesome. But I hope the next game will have vast world and not as linear as arise.
There is now a short clip in the video. Not anime style graphics anymore? I think it is not Tales game, but Sword Art Online related?

Square doesn't want to almost completely lose the Japanese market by abandoning the Switch.
Why is it that you people think square Enix is for Sale? Just because they sold their West studios and some of the west Ips, that doesn't mean that the company is going for sale. They just cut the fat because the most profitable is their Japanese IPs and like hell they wanna let go to that Japanese market of Jrpgs.
They are doing fine, for instance their MMORPG FF14 is good since most of their Blizzard /warcratt fan base moved to it, and now they are announcing more Final Fantasy VII news? it's gonna be OK. I mean take it like this...the prime games pretty much has a time exclusivity to Sony and the second class games(leftovers) are for Nintendo and that's how it's been for years now. So they got nothing to worry about.
Square wants to sell, EA wants to sell, Ubisoft want to sell, Activison is attempting to sell.
What is happening? Is it the current stock market sell off putting pressure? Is it unrealistic expectations of their products?
At the end of the day, just make good games. Don’t release service crap. Be more like Capcom and turn things around instead of trying to run away.
There won't be any 3rd party companies left at this point.
The value of acquisition is never low if somebody drives up with a dump truck full of cash and bangs on your door then you will accept it. Every company has a price no matter who it is problem is the company that is making the purchase and how they will utilize your library of games. And do it in the right way that won't piss off the fans of a particular series. And if Sony buys SquareEnix good on them. I would rather see a Japanese company bought up by a Japanese company then see SquareEnix get bought up by a company like Tencent.
