  co-op, base-building, and mech combat

  ah yes, just like Horizon Zero Dawn.

  Or is it just the ‘humans fighting giant machines’ part that they’re likening to Shadow of the Colossus Metal Gear Solid Horizon Zero Dawn?

    Even if it was ripping on the other two games crossed out: Sony owns (or partially owns) those, too.

      Sony doesn’t own Konami or MGS at all, as far as I know?

  Yes, let them fight.

  I say unless they’re using the exact same assets, then who cares. People will play the better game.

    I agree with your latter paragraph but not the former. I’m really not liking these overbroad IP claims. This is almost worse than the Nintendo/Palworld stuff, which was already pretty bad.

    Tencent may also be a villain, but if Sony gets its way here, it will be bad for games and other forms of expression.

      I agree: fuck Tencent, but Sony winning sets a pretty bad precedent.
