Yeah I don’t think a Square Enix buyout is happening to be clear. As others mentioned above, they have their hands in much more than just video games. Sony does too, but it just seems like a weird fit outside of how much Sony cares about locking down Final Fantasy which they already have deals in place for.
I'm so sorry :-( I hope he can pull through this.
The pizza hut I worked at in high school has a chicken club pizza that used a mayonnaise sauce. It was actually quite good.
Sorry to hear this.
Poor dog, sorry to hear this
Sorry to hear this, it's heartbreaking. Wishing him the best
Sorry to hear this happening, for both you and your dog. It's never easy seeing a pet go through declining health.
Oh no.
Sorry to hear, it's always awful when dogs are in pain and you can't do anything about it

I wonder how history would be different if Nintendo sold Wii Sports as a $40 seperate purchase. They definitely wouldn't be guaranteed a massive success like they are with the similarly content-poor Switch Ports, but I doubt they'd be hurt 'that' much either.Reggie advocated for Wii Sports as a pack-in, Iwata and Miyamoto were initially against it
Wii Sports was included as a pack-in with most Wii systems as part of its initial launch. You can thank former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime for that. It turns out that Reggie made a big push for the pack-in idea, but faced significant pushback. Initially, both Satoru Iwata –...
Poor dog, sorry to hear this
Thanks, all. We're taking him to the vet today, maybe they can prescribe him something a bit stronger than the gabapentin that doesn't seem to be doing much for him at the moment.Oh no.
Probably worth looking at sales in Japan where it wasn't a pack-in?
He advocated. There's no evidence it was his idea in the first place. Still don't get the fandism about Reggie. He did marketing and obviously connected to a lot of video gamers. But more then that? He was still active when the Wii U launched. Would be interesting to find out what he advocated back thenReggie advocated for Wii Sports as a pack-in, Iwata and Miyamoto were initially against it

This is really touching, am sure he would be better. Wishing him the best.
Or maybe Squares the crisps. They still around?
Very sorry to hear this. Crossing my fingers that you can get your dog the help he needs and that his remaining time can be as painless as possible.
I’m so sorry. Having a pet in pain is always so so hard.
To be clear, I Yeah’d! This in a “man I’m sorry, that really sucks” way. Having a pet getting old is one of the worst feelings. Like you said, you know they’ve had a long good life and all, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
Debunked by the fact that I'm still unemployed
You do realize the SaGa games are actually popular outside of the West? And have a growing fan base here? Right?
I was about to bring up Team SaGa and Team Mana myself; there's no way they would survive under Sony management and I could definitely see them jumping ship along with Team Asano and Team DQ in a hypothetical Sony acquisition.
I could see Sony putting classic SE titles on their new PS+ subscription, but that's about it. Everything new from then on would be Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
They could but nowadays even if there is still a difference between how teams work all is mixed so it would be really hard to do so, it's like if Bamco had to sell Namco when both Bandai/Namco stuff is done by BNS.
DQ is a rights fuckery to be honest, the best way to explain the situation it's by dividing DQ rights in five parts : music,designs,games themselves,trademark and publishing rights.
Company that buys Square retains the exclusivity if it follows the same logic that Enix into SE did. But this is a private contract that has never been public so we don't know if there is any clause that could cause a revision or what would happen if a non-SE company buys the rights and to be fair we don't know even if that's possible there may even be a clause that gives SE rights to buy DQ rights over other parties.
But beforehand, Enix had full publishing rights when they brought Square into the fold and saved them from going up in flames, so that is why I am curious. DQ is big in Japan only really, and not sure how that goes with modern Sony's philosophy these days
Sony is still really focused on Japan , it's only SIE that's focused on the West, so maybe it could fit better in other branches like Aniplex (they already publish games in Japan). DQ in Japan it's like Pokemon worldwide a lot more than console videogames it's a multimedia franchise with it's own anime,merch,theme park,restaurants,cafes and really big mobile games like DQ Walk, so it could fit well with Aniplex. But as I said it's all we can do it's speculation due to not knowing what are the conditions of the contract between Armor Project (and also Bird Studio) and Square Enix.
CT is supposedly wrapped up in all sorts of rights hell which makes it hard to action anything relating to it
I think everyone is happy with this line up (if true).
