RedmondG Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Sony Corporation is weighing a bid for Hong Kong-based gaming firm Leyou Technologies. Leyou Technologies owns Warframe developer Digital Extremes, Gears Tactics developer Splash Damage, and more. It would be a good get for Sony. They haven't been as pro active securing devs since Insominac last year so this would be a smart move.

Demon_skeith Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 It be a pretty huge move for them, I hope they can get it and don't get out bid by another game company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I think once the new console is out they need all the game dev studios at their disposal to attain the dominant position. So yeah a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Personally I don't like the Idea of Sony gaining control of Warframe, it's one of if not THE best and fairly monetized FTP game in existence. I'm not anti-Sony nor am i making any accuastions or assumpions but they, just like any major company, are now in a prime position to fuck that up.

Sucker Punch, Guerrilla and Naughty Dog seem to be doing well under the banner. I'd take time to research to be sure, but a deal with Sony doesn't seem to be the kiss of death EA is.

skyfire Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Even if EA keeps the company alive most likely they will fire the workers and keep the code rehashed year after another year like FIFA and Cricket they are doing over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
