Here's a direct link to PCGamer for people who don't twitter.

The only thing of note is the quote from Miyazaki.

"I think it was the old ex-president of Nintendo, Iwata-san, who said that 'people who are afraid of losing their jobs are afraid of making good things.' I'm paraphrasing that, but I totally share this view,"

"I think it's true. And I think the people at Kadokawa, our parent company, understand that I hold this view very strongly. While we can't say 100%—we can't say with complete certainty what the future's going to hold for From and Kadokawa—at least as long as this company is my responsibility, that's something I would not let happen. So hopefully our players and our fans can take a little bit of assurance from that."

Does anyone else that read the article find this interviewer's question very strange?

big mega corps in the US are laying off people and closing medium-tier studios at best "are you worried your Japanese parent company will lay off your Japanese staff?"

fromsoft has been making very successful releases repeatedly along with a huge dlc about to drop and you ask them if they are worried about being laid off? what a stupid piece of garbage this guy is

*i may have been rage baited...

Naturally the writer is avoiding the rainbow elephant in the room.

Any Japanese company that has a prominent Western (aka CCP) branch will be affected by it.

Part of the reason why From hasn't been infected is because their Western branch is small.

Of the two Miyazakis I know, he’s easily the best. My parents gave birth to me, but FromSoftware is what made me a man.

What made you a man was video games?

Jeeze maybe I’m on the wrong board, but that should not be the case.
