It’s a fifth of what MS just paid for Activision. I would’ve thought you’d be way better off owning a whole platform than a bunch of franchises like Call of Duty.
Either the rumor is dumb, or Steam is a much smaller money-printer than I thought (which I can’t rule out — I’ve heard they rarely take anywhere close to a 30% cut for popular enough games).
While on the face ridiculous something has changed since the pandemic in Japanese Law/Business because a lot more foreign influence has come about and the medium size Japanese companies from all sectors and particularly real estate are being eaten by foreign interests.
