>Honestly there may be some Sony shouldn’t have been allowed to acquire

Some people have been floating around the idea that Sony could respond by acquiring Square Enix. Not sure if that is actually fiancially viable, but I would much prefer Sony and Microsoft acquire smaller studios (think Playground Games, Bluepoint Games) and leave bigger players like Activision and Square Enix alone.

Exactly. I don’t mind “elevating” small studios by acquiring them and giving them resources and capital.

But I don’t like just flat out consolidation of already large companies. I don’t see a benefit (to gamers) in that. Just investors/business people.

Sqeenix already sold a number of their franchises and studios to Embracer recently.
