It's a joint venture. I think it's a great call, to be honest, as long as they don't remove non-Sony games from the tournament. I think they won't and it'll probably be more of an overseer type of owner interest.What is the point of this? Waste of money if you ask me. This money should've gone towards securing a steady flow of content stream for PlayStation years to come through the acquisitions of Kojima Productions, Bluepoint Studio, and expanding Japan Studio - not downsizing them.

Why would Sony want to acquire a one man studio? You are also not taking into consideration that Kojima may not want to sell his company to anyone, as their independency allows them to work on several other stuff beside just videogames.What is the point of this?
