It looks like it's even worse- Kadokawa itself has made a statement of intent to have Sony buy them, supposedly to make sure they aren't bought out by a certain other company.
Can these companies not just say "no thanks, we'll just keep operating as our own company."?
Not under modern capitalism. It's their fiduciary responsibility to acquire maximum profits for their share holders, even if that means getting bought out by someone they know will kill the company and all future profits.
That seems like it goes against their duty to yield maximum profits.
Shareholder responsibilities require constant "line go up" at all times. Making a decision that doesn't make line go up immediately will usually have them lose their shit, even if its a better long term choice that would make them more money.
Its why most corporations are constantly fucking around with shit that already works and destroying their futures.
Is FromSoft a publicly traded company?
Good question. Doesn't look like it.
Unfortunately, I can think of several companies WORSE than Sony to be owned by so this might be better the devil you know than don't situation.
Considering how Sony has become more Westernized, i.e. woke, that's concerning enough. It ain't no Netflix or Amazon but the trend is there.
You know Sony was originally an American company, right?
Doesn't sound like it was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony#History
You might be thinking of Sega.
For the longest time I thought From was owned by Bamco.
