@Rob_230 Japanese government tends to block foreign companies from buying large companies such as Capcom, Sega or Square as mentioned above. So there's little reason to fear that type of acquisition. If they were to be bought by anyone, it will most certainly be a Japanese conglomerate.

@Eldritch777 Right now it seems to just be rumors. It doesn't have to compete, as it's likely not the same as gamepass. You aren't going to see 1st party launch games on it day one. That cuts into Sony's profits where MS can afford to take losses to bulk up their user base.

@Shepherd_Tallon Perhaps they'll give a discount to those who are already subscribed to PS Plus, PSNow or both.

@danzoEX I'd chime in that as well. Hard to say what the actual price will be, but it won't be the same as the standard PS Plus price for sure.

@Juvenlast PS Plus is already that price and you get plenty for it. You're kidding yourself at that price. If they can manage $20, they'll be fine.

@twitchtvpat "I don't care what other people do, but if you buy this game, shame on you!"

That type of backwards way of thinking is why I don't waste my time on people like that. The ignore button certainly comes to good use to avoid toxic people.

@KingPev I played the demo years back, and wasn't impressed. Was surprised on how underwhelming it was considering it was from Insomniac.

@KingPev You're probably thinking of Fuse. That and Sunset were only a few games that they developed outside of the PlayStation ecosystem. Insomniac has been linked to PS for years so it's not the same honestly. They also don't have many IPs of their own since Sony owns those. Bethesda on the other hand is much different since MS now owns all those IPs that were also on PlayStation for many years. It's a much bigger blow than Sony's acquisition of Insomniac.

@KippDynamite Well with how iconic it looks, it's no wonder Sony has kept it all this time. There's no reason to change it.

@twitchtvpat According to IGN(if they can be believed), is that they are working on an original game. Hopefully it's true, because I feel it's time they make their own properties to form some type of identity of their own.

@lacerz They have done a pretty good job with the Little Big Planet property, but I don't think it's likely. They would probably cost more than Sony is willing to pay. The upside would be they would also acquire a handful of studios that Sumo owns.

@patronmacabre Good to know, but doesn't change what I said. The studio itself(not the employees nor founders) has no link to Retro.

@patronmacabre The only connection that the studio has to Retro is the founders. The studio alone, has no ties. So...not sure how that amounts to "a lot." While a Metroid type of game would be interesting, it's not likely to happen.

@Fiendish-Beaver

MLB The Show is on other consoles because of a deal that Sony and MLB made so that Sony can hold onto the MLB license for video games. That's an entirely different thing. There's no need move the goal post.

@4kgk2 Insomniac has over 350 employees. So they're much bigger. Though 250 is a sizable studio.

@Blacksmith1985 It'll be coming to other consoles later.

@__jamiie "But thanks for getting all defensive and hurt."

Assuming are we? All I said was that is your opinion. There was no anger involved here. So again...how was I defensive? Lol. I think you should look at what you just said and come back and tell me that with a straight face. Tidbit, tidbits, does it matter? Well...maybe to you I guess, but I digress. No my friend, it's not fact just because you say so, but hey, it you want to believe that, by all means. Either way, there was no reason to be so upset that I didn't agree with you. Talk about "hurt." I think I'll just put you on ignore as I don't really care for childish nonsense. Good luck.

@__jamiie Well, that's certainly your opinion, but the PS2 version was quite sufficient enough despite those small tidbits you mentioned. It played well either way.

@__jamiie Actually, they co-own it. They don't own it outright. It's a partnership between them and KoeiTecmo.

@ChrisDeku I like your optimism, but Ratchet is not selling 10m lifetime. It just doesn't have that selling power like Spider-Man. I can see it hitting somewhere around 3-5m. That's possible.

@UmaBunda "Hey @get2sammyb , are you going to update this article and correct it?"
Not likely considering they probably would have by now. Integrity is rare in journalism these days.

"Because we already know this petition was created by an Xbox fanboy trying to pass off as a PS fan."

I suspect he did and went and posted it anyway for what you mentioned down below as "easy clicks." Even if he didn't know, that doesn't excuse not looking into it first instead of opting to ride the jumping to conclusions train.

"It's crazy to me how some consider themselves journalists and not even take their time to do research, not only that but also refuse to correct themselves."

Well not exactly true as Sammy and company will correct and update when it's actual news that they goofed on. Apparently, click baity posts are excluded in such matters.

" Even worse when they call themselves PS fans but use a fake headline to not only bash on their own community but also gain some easy clicks."

Responsible journalism is hard to come by anymore, so I wouldn't expect much from this site or any other site to be honest.

"Well done guys 👍"
Well done indeed.

@Flaming_Kaiser I'm more amused by how he's quiet about it and hasn't once responded to any of the criticism of posting about it. Especially now that it's obvious that it was done to troll the community. He can at least own up to it and apologize for it, but I guess some people feel they are too good for it I suppose. Makes me glad I rarely ever comment these days.

@shonenjump86 Nintendo doesn't own Bayonetta as Sega still holds IP rights. They have publishing rights for 2 and 3, though, but those types of deals have expirations on them and the games will probably end up on other consoles in the future.

@get2sammyb Well the game far as I know was co-produced by Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, so it's not like they have full say on the matter. Not like it's a huge deal for them as the game is not exactly a huge hit outside of Japan.

@RadioHedgeFund Perhaps, but there are many that would prefer to traditional TV route instead. That is how I play my games. Even the classics. Despite what we may think, there is certainly no reason they can't be on other platforms other than PC and mobile.

@RadioHedgeFund Not everyone who has a phone wants to play them on a small device. There is no reason it can't be on PS5/PS4. I suspect it will eventually, but if not, big hit and miss.

Genesis sounds way cooler than Mega Drive. 👍

@Chief_Forasteiro Doubtful that world would happen anyway. People like options. So as long as that's a norm(which isn't likely to change), consoles and PCs will coexist as they do now. Not to nitpick, but you did just said you are afraid to live in a world where only PC has AAA games. That is the definition of pretty much being afraid of change, but we can certainly agree to disagree on that.

@Entrr_username For now. Though, I don't see it being that way forever. Sooner or later it'll end up a standard, and even Nintendo will dive into the potential profits. And I'm fine with that. It doesn't really hurt anyone but those who are afraid of change.

@Jeevz Mobile and arcade style games I would put as an exception since they aren't going to cause any issue with a mainline game such as The Show. Just as Madden isn't going to be affected either. As far as a big budget game like The Show or Madden, it's obvious that MLB and NFL have chosen their partners, and will remain so as long as the games are profitable.

@Floki Yes, they do indeed care about relationships, lol. That's why they get into agreements with business partners to begin with. That's just a foolish statement in of itself. There's a reason MLB wanted it to be on many platforms, because MLB likes the idea of having to work with one company rather than give out licenses to every developer and Sony was the simple choice. There's also a reason Topps has the rights to logos and teams names with their baseball cards and no one else is able to. It's unlikely EA will ever bother to try anyway since they've been out of the game for over 15 years now and would simply not put in the time to develop a decent engine. Having said that, I blame them for the whole mess when they decided to take the exclusive NFL license, so it is what it is.

@Jeevz Sony has the license for MLB teams, names, and logos. Good luck.

@Floki Not likely to happen considering Sony has just signed a multi-year deal already. Plus they've had a long relationship with MLB since EA has bowed out. As long as the games make money, MLB and Sony will just continue extending their deal. EA is likely aware of this and is just looking to make a baseball game that isn't related to MLB.

@perseus7 Probably around 1% for sure considering they previously threw 250 million for 1.4% last time. So I'd guess they now have 2.4% stake in the company. Doesn't sound like much to some, but if you're making billions in revenue each year, 2.4% is quite a lot. I see it as a win/win.

@curriemonster Yep, but some opinions don't hold up unfortunately. That's the reality of it. Despite that, yes you are still entitled to it nonetheless. Lol.

@curriemonster Except not everyone has PSNow nor own a PS5, so no, it's a good move for Sony.

@LordSteev Delay4Months

@Dezzy70 Except Insomniac's portfolio is based mostly around IP's that Sony owned, so they didn't take much away compared to what MS took in Bethesda, such as a large handful of developing studios along the way. Sony never has went to that degree in acquisitions so it's not the same. Naughty Dog didn't really have properties that were a big loss at the time they were acquired back in the early 2000's. In other words, most studios that Sony bought were up and coming studios that didn't have much ground covered in the industry until Sony groomed them into what they are now. MS on the other hand, seems more interested in taking the easy way out and snatch anything for a quick buck. That's my opinion on the whole thing. In all honesty though, it doesn't affect me personally because I rarely ever bought a Bethesda published game, so it's not a loss to me, but I can see why those who did, aren't too pleased. Time will tell if this move between MS and Bethesda will work out for them.

@Flaming_Kaiser It's always been about profits. Lol. What did you expect? It makes no sense to keep such a huge studio of that size if it isn't making enough to maintain it. Downsizing it was for the best. It's unfortunate it happened, but that's always been a part of business.

I believe Ratchet and Clank for PS4 released at $39.99, not $49.99. I bought the game at launch. That's USD. I'm sure it was a bit more in other parts of NA such as Canada.

@IronHammersFC Do they? That's surprising since I don't believe most Brits really play baseball let alone watch it.

@Thwomp_Stomper Well I have one, so I can say with certainty, yes. Wish you luck in getting one.

@Salt_AU Sony has no control over the price.The publishers are the ones who decide their own prices.

@Johnnycide Not really. If they refunded their money in the form of PS Store Credit, they'll make it back. At least most.

@GigaGaia They're probably already in talks I'm sure.

@Orpheus79V Peoole get bent out of shape over many things. For me, it's really whatever. It's all based on opinions, popular or not. I only watched for the game reveals, which were lacking.

@Wilforce That's certainly your opinion, but I have to disagree.

@Wilforce It had a good lineup for sure, but I have to say that PS5's out did it enough.

@Mhayes111387 Dude, if you're going to troll, at least do a better job at it. Was a good try, though, but no cigar. At least you made the ignore list. Bye now.

@BowTiesAreCool The product is good enough, and having the PS name in it doesn't make a difference. That's just your narrow-minded opinion. Not sure what it is with people like you always stirring up nonsense. Good thing for the ignore feature.
