Square feels like the most obvious choice due to their ties

EA has several Disney IP games in the works, I think they make the most sense (from a shitty corporate POV).

Edit: I just remembered they own ESPN too so that plus madden seems like a lot of sense too.

I didn’t think of this but would they sell to a non Japanese company? That’s the question.

Bethesda (now microsoft) owns Tango Gameworks. SNK is owned by the Misk Foundation, A foundation created by a Saudi Arabian Prince.

Its a huge myth that people think the japanese conpanies cannot be bought out by non japanese companies. Theyre just significantly less willing to unless it meant bankruptcy.

What did you do with all the time you saved writing Dis instead of Disney?

Why does that bother you?

I’ve always wondered about Firepoancoal’s relationship to time. They’ve dipped their feet in abbreviating many times but always seem to run astray saving time from commenting.

He's probably simply lazy. Most explanations can be boiled down to that or stupidity.

What did you do with all the time you saved typing I've instead of I have?

Disney buying Microsoft would be fun

I think only the other way around is possible. Microsoft are too fucking big.

Yeah, I think people really overestimate Disney. They are just above Sony market cap which about 1/10th of Microsoft's
