"Elden Ring publisher". This is a weird way to describe Bandai Namco.
Especially in relation to Sony that already owns 14% of From Software and 10% of Kadokawa (who owns most of From Software).

They're a conversation piece.
Not all conversations are worth having though.
I am pretty sure the "every game doesn't need something new" era had already started in the mid-80s. And new mechanics, and new takes on old ones, still happen.
The guy is in old man mode.
That works too.
Yeah, well as I see it Meta needs EU a lot more than EU needs Meta. Adapt or GTFO.
They're houseplants, and they're telling each other horror stories around an (unlit?) campfire.
Invading a place that wants to kill you is not that unheard of. Some of us explore flanks of erupting volcanoes, abysses, or want to go to space/the Moon/Mars.
Going there naked, and with absolutely no idea what you're exposing yourself to, is bonkers though. Especially absurd for the crew of a spaceship with interstellar capability. How the hell did they reach Earth without killing themselves a thousand times on their travel?
We truly are in the metaverse era.
They found a way to convert physical shit into virtual shit.
I am speaking from experience.
The latest example of that I encountered had a blatant logical inconsistency in its summary, a CVE that wasn't relevant to what was discussed, because it was corrected years before the technology existed. Someone pointed at it.
The poster hadn't done the slightest to check what they posted, they just regurgitated it. It's not the reader's job to check the crap you've posted without the slightest effort.
Every now and then I see a guy barging in a topic bringing nothing else than "I asked [some AI service] and here's what it said", followed by 3 paragraphs of AI-gened gibberish. And then when it's not well received they just don't seem to understand.
It's baffling to me. Anyone can ask an AI. A lot of people specifically don't, because they don't want to battle with its output for an hour trying to sort out from where it got its information, whether it represented it well, or even whether it just hallucinated half of it.
And those guys come posting a wall of text they may or may not have read themselves, and then they have the gall to go "What's the problem, is any of that wrong?"... Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it's wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up, and have only brought automated noise to the conversation.
Not waning interest in Ubisoft?
Because, ooh boy, did my interest in Ubisoft wane year after year of overproduced cookie cutter crap. And I'm not expecting a change of phase.
Also, Guillemot, you're talking publicly a lot for someone with (now convicted) sexual harrasser friends you've protected all of your career.
... What about the Namco part?
Ridge Racer? Soulcalibur? Tekken? Tales of Whatever? Freaking PAC-MAN?
