If it’s a “huge” purchase Bethesda style then it can’t be Sony because it wouldn’t be organic enough.

And they can't afford a huge publisher either

 

[Kamina]

Yes, finally Sega on Wednesday!

 

[Kev Kev]

Gabe Newell is buying a lifetime supply of Funyuns

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

ACG (Whose a member here) will tweet or say something big is happening, back track when the internet takes notice, never provide any information of said big thing, and never follow up with what he was previously hinting at. My guess hes seeking attention now that hes no longer with Colins Podcast company. Has he been correct about ANYTHING?

He could at least clarify who these 4 companies running a monopoly are, thats not asking alot.

Why did he leave Colin?

 

[mejin]

Sony is getting Square-Enix

 

[Kagey K]

Tencent or Embracer at it again?

 

[farmerboy]

Just throwing it out there for what its worth and I file this 100% under rumor but I hear something brewing a lot sooner then a month away

You lasted 18 minutes!

 

[Kokoloko85]

Probably Tencent or MS. Saying 4 probably means Tencent, as no1 considers them on the level as MS, Sony or Nintendo.

I doubt Nintendo or Sony are buying anyone big, they are cheapskates and dont have the same money as MS. Plus they are doing fine without the big purchases

 

[Skifi28]

Listen, there's something happening soon. Stay tuned.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Kojima productions?

 

[Alebrije]

Guess Sony is involved , that would explain their low profile these months and not being involved on any event.

 

[FStubbs]

Tencent is buying Disney which is buying Sony which is buying Square-Enix.

Did I get the rumors right?

 

[Dabaus]

I dont even believe this is true, but with that said if this were Microsoft and some info was available, ALL the twitter xbox people would be hyping this up right now.

 

[Perrott]

And they can't afford a huge publisher either

Wrong, they absolutely can afford something in the lower end of what would be considered a "huge publisher".

 

[DForce]

My avatar is my reaction.

Any idea if this is even true, and if so whose involved?

 

[crozier]

Wasn’t there news awhile back that Microsoft wasn’t done yet? I hope it’s Sony making a purchase, but I fear something big is going exclusive to Microsoft again.

 

[Hendrick's]

 

[Blond]

Pretty sure i heard amazon are buying nintendo

Every prime account comes with a free switch and the only way to buy games it’s through Amazon

 

[Bryank75]

Sony won't acquire anyone....they are focused on disappointing their fans right now and Jim Ryan and Hermen have a few years left on this roadmap!

 

[Spukc]

Sony buys nintendo

 

[jaysius]

OH FFS not Carrot in on this bullshit clickbait trash too. I thought you were one of the good ones.

If this doesn't happen, I'll never watch his very well made videos again.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Oh come on dont be another one, if you have heard something say it.

If I am being honest I think its someone just trying to generate hype/viewers for Xbox Gamescom show and I dont mean the guy who posted this

 

[Rossco EZ]

Slightly off topic but anyone else hate it when some supposed 'ITK' says somehting like this, but doesnt say who it is, who's buying, who the studio is etc?.
Attention seeking for clicks.

 

[Dabaus]

Can you say what it is you heard?

 

[PhaseJump]

Using DBZ logic. I figure Phil is about to go SSJ and acquire Sega and DC Comics IP, then he will throw a potara earring at Gaben.

 

[Skifi28]

Can you say what it is you heard?

I also heard that a certain aquisition isn't happening in the next number of days/weeks or months. Unless it does in which case you also heard about it from me. Don't forget to subscribe!

 

[SidViscous]

Stadia to buy square-enix so we actually get the final fantasy.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Except I dont say stuff for clicks couldnt care less about driving traffic to any social medias

 

[CAB_Life]

Is this gonna be big like that ”Silent Hill” game ya’ll were yammering on about? We know what happened with that. Temper your expectations with things you hear on Reddit.

 

[Warablo]

Nintendo purchasing GameStop.

That actually makes sense for Nintendo amiibos.

 

[nush]

FYI this topic is and hour and a half old. How long until Wednesday, I'll start the clock.

 

[Dabaus]

Everyday it this fake insider or that fake insider with their new fake rumor.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Everyday it this fake insider or that fake insider with their new fake rumor.

Maybe someone is going to buy all the PS5 stock from eBay and that could count as a huge purchase, right?

 

[Rossco EZ]

twas a joke

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Nintendo purchasing Japan Studio

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

Well, the cat is out of the bag, I purchased all humanity from God. You all belong to me now.

 

[Dick Jones]

Nintendo purchasing GameStop.

Nintendo put 30 bucks on the price of every piece of Gamestop stock and slap a Nintendo logo on it. Sees stock sell out immediately.

Change my mind.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Just throwing it out there for what its worth and I file this 100% under rumor but I hear something brewing a lot sooner then a month away

So what are we talking about here, one week or ....?

 

[Verchod]

MS buys Valve...

 

[Damigos]

I actually hope Sony buys Konami for their IPs

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Just throwing it out there for what its worth and I file this 100% under rumor but I hear something brewing a lot sooner then a month away

Clearly Sony related.

 

[Rat Rage]

Tencent is gonna buy Valve.

 

[Bryank75]

Just put Jims head on this.

 

[Perrott]

Any idea if this is even true, and if so whose involved?

Oh, there are 100% some huge potential acquisitions undergoing negotiations behind the scenes at the moment that would fit the criteria established by ACG's tweet (some where Sony seemingly has the lead; others where Microsoft is kind of fixated in outbidding everyone else at any cost; and others which are much more disputed and where players like Tencent are getting thrown into the equation), so I wouldn't be able to confidently say that Karak is talking about a certain thing specifically. But if I had to put my money on something, it would be on Sony acquiring a certain publisher, but it really could be anything by anyone to be honest.

Can you say which certain publisher?

 

[Calverz]

Mario…4K….Xbox…..
Sssshhhhh

 

[Zannegan]

If true, it's more likely to be Tencent buying Ubisoft or one of the other big third party publishers wholesale than anything console-warsy.

Ubisoft is cheap right now, for the size of the company.
