@thefourfoldroot Do you know that part of the team that made yakuza is now working for a chinese company?

I know Sega still wons it, etc, but it could impact the sequels.

I don't see it as a response to MS buying other companies, but more like a way of both Sony and MS protecting themselves from other tech companies, including chinese ones, like NetEase and, specially, Tencent.

Remembering that Tencent is bigger than Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo in revenue (almost 30 Billions per year). They already own Riot Games (league of legends) and 40% of Epic Games.
