Yep arrogant Sony from the PS3 era is 100% back under Jim Ryan's control. Absolute shame after what Shawn Layden, Andrew House and Shu built up through the PS4 generation.
Edit: Hours after I said this, Jim Ryan has stepped down as CEO...

Whilst monopolies are a terrible thing for consumers.
PlayStation and Nintendo still have the best first party lineups and IP available to them. I don’t think this is as big of a deal as people would like to make it seem.
I do agree this should have been blocked by regulators just as I thought with the Bethesda acquisition. Sony also with the acquisition of Bungie.
There should be a restriction on the purchasing of studios/publishers of a certain size.
Certainly isn’t going to hurt Sony or Nintendo. I also don’t think this is the big WIN that Microsoft thinks it’s going to be either.
