The internet has been flooded with comments calling for Sony to stop buying Activision Blizzard by buying Square Enix once and for all.
Was one of the great soap operas in the video game sector in recent times Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard, something that has become more difficult in recent months, generating enormous uncertainty in this regard. However, the settlement of the lawsuit against the FTC in favor of the Redmond-based company seems to open the way, especially after the United Kingdom opened the door to negotiations, as it is now the only obstacle to the implementation of the deal. Given these developments, Social media is already asking Sony to counterattack.
And the most discussed at the moment is the emphasis on what Square Enix becomes part of PlayStation Studiossomething that seems to make perfect sense, proving the close connection that exists between Japanese companies and exclusive firms in Sony consoles that could be seen in recent years, as in the case of Final Fantasy XVI or supplies a remake of Final Fantasy VII. Therefore, if Square Enix becomes part of the PlayStation studio portfolio, it will gain exclusivity to such important franchises as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts or Dragon Questamong many.

Take Two, another big wish to join PlayStation Studios
Although Square Enix is the most talked about title on the Internet, gamers are also discussing the possibility other major companies are coming to the PlayStation Studios family in response to Activision Blizzard’s purchase. One of the most popular is Take Two, responsible for Rockstar and franchises like Grand Theft Auto; However, the players themselves seem to understand that Sony does not have the purchasing power to launch an operation of this style.
Of course, more companies were mentioned in the last few hours, as could be the case CD Projekt RED, responsible for The Witchero FromSoftware, creators of Elden Ring and the Souls saga, among many others. At this point, it doesn’t look like Sony will make such moves anytime soon.
