Sony becomes largest shareholder of FromSoftware's parent company raising fan concerns

Sony has become the largest shareholder of Kadokawa, FromSoftware's parent company, after investing 50 billion yen (about $318 million). This move raises concerns among fans about the future direction of FromSoftware and its games. While the acquisition is not a full takeover, it aims to enhance Kadokawa's global media presence, including adaptations of its intellectual properties. Sony's partnership is focused on expanding Kadokawa's reach in entertainment, but specifics about FromSoftware's games remain unclear. Fans are worried that this partnership could lead to changes in game development, potential exclusivity for future titles, or the introduction of microtransactions. However, no official plans have been announced regarding FromSoftware's projects.
