Yeah seems like both Jeff Grubb and Greg heard the same stuff: a VR2 show happening, plus a big acquisition. Those were the 2nd and 3rd big things.
And Greg said he heard it from "a pool of people".
At least Greg expected both to be announced this week alongside the PS Plus announcement.
Sounds weird that both of them heard the same things. Unless they talk to exactly the same people...
Or maybe Sony is still not finalized with this big acquisition, who knows? (so it really is nothing anyway)

I did...? He's referring to Haven studio from last week, lol.

If so that is terrible wording. I'll explain why.
"PlayStation didn't just close out Sony's fiscal year by buying a game studio and revising its subscription plan It also just quietly laid off dozens of workers in its sales and marketing teams as part of a "global transformation" of how it does business"
Closing out the fiscal year is this week. The Bungie acquisition was announced two months ago. That is not closing out the fiscal year. So either that's not what he is referring to, or his command of the English language is piss poor.
Gotcha, I guess I missed that news. And this makes way more sense based on what I described above. Thank you.

I agree.
2 feb 2022: herman hulst: Hermen: Absolutely. And obviously it’s still early, the deal itself needs to be finalized before we can officially start discussing detailed collaboration.
Edit: nvrmind haven slipped my mind, could also be that.

I just don't buy it. Who are the "pool" of people that would be privy to a large acquisition that isn't finalized yet? Those negotiations are done at the highest level of executive leadership. It's not like there'd be dozens of random employees in that room.

Just educated guesses and hopes we wont hear about major acquisitions via leaks

This, as mentioned before, these almost very rarely leak to the peasant public due to insider trading laws.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Microsoft/Activision acquisition was NOT leaked beforehand right?
And those were two Western major companies

No, it was not. Even Schreier didn't know about either one.

They lied to drive more traffic to their content smh ….
1. Spartacus was already going to be announced so that wasn’t new.
2. Of course they will have a PS VR 2 event at some point, don’t see them launching it without one.
3. The Acquisition isn’t new because Sony already said they plan to continue acquisitions even mentioned the budget they have for that.

This is why you don't listen to game journalists or anything game journalist adjacent. They're almost all disingenuous twats and always have been. People who go into video game journalism 99.9% of the time are trying to segue into another field of journalism or professional writing and of those the people who stay in video game journalism are the ones who can't hack it elsewhere (or let's be honest even in vidya news but most video game consumers have the lowest standards imaginable) so they get stuck in it. People are told time and time again about how these ass clowns will just outright make shit up for attention, so them spinning guesses that the average consumer could even get away with as "insider info" should hardly be a surprise.
Stop falling for their tricks.

At least he isn't running from the tar and feathering. That's an interesting pic for them to use too.

Did Greg Miller piss out of his ass?
This will eventually get old, but not yet for me

Seems like a big aquisition by Sony will be made sooner than later. Doubt they announce it this week or even next month, but soon.

From Sony, yeah. I think MS is done until at least the ActiBlizz goes through in 2023.

It’s safe to assume more acquisitions will happen but I doubt they will be announced any time soon.

Difficult to keep acquisitions quiet for a while. Eventually, the word spills out. Kind of has to for financial and operational reasons.
Just look at BluePoint and how PlayStation Japan Marketing let this slip early.
There were no hints of the Bungie deal, but it was announced well before it closed.

I haven't watched this shit for years (since they got rid of Colin). And my fucking god, I'd forgotten how bad they truly are. Phony ass fucking idiots.

I like their show. Why do you think they are phony in this video? Is it something they said?

Phony in general. I'm not talking about this video. I don't like their fake laughs and bullshit over enthusiasm. It all rings hollow. And after they shafted Colin and virtue signaled during the election they can go fuck themselves.

I don't doubt these guys heard from legit sources that there are rumblings of an acquisition happening
But trying to guess a date, like Today or tomorrow is just for clicks

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The fat slob was almost spot on with the PS + tiers and structure with only a dollar or two off on the prices.
If anything, Grubb is one of the only reliable leakers along with Schrier. All other random no named folks people keep posting from twitter are the ones who should be checked.
