What studio acquisitions do you predict we could see this year and why?
kamikazekeeg:
Normally I don't care a ton about studio acquisitions, but there is one single company I want to see get picked up or bought out by someone else...Konami. They have a stockpile of great IP's and they've done absolutely nothing with them other than a couple collections for Castlevania. Games they've inspired are coming out every year, but we don't have a new Castlevania to go along with those or the new tv series that is awesome? We clearly don't seem to be getting anything Metal Gear anymore after Survive sucked, so why aren't we getting a remastered collection of all the old games like Castlevania?
The hope is that someone like Sony buys them or their IP's and then they can dole out the properties to different studios. Like even if Kojima didn't get to lead another Metal Gear, that way he could be involved at least.
mrkonasoni:
I don't care much about it but I think some companies will cut the acquisitions this year since we are still recovering from the pandemy.
If anything I can see more big companies siding with indies just to revive old franchises or make more games for the backlog, that being said, Kojima Productions being bought by Sony or Microsoft seems clearer than the water, unlike of course Kojima has finally learned to spend less money with developments.
telekill:
I'm not a fan of the mass acquisition of talent. The smaller studios seem to have the talent now as they're able to make the games they want vs be told what the masses "want" and to make it.
I hope to see no acquisitions in 2022. I know I will be disappointed.

I know. I don't count Zynga as having talent though.
