My takes on recent news...

-Overwatch League 2022 without strong sponsor could be a signal that Activision Blizzard has just let the scandal quiets down after Microsoft offered to buy them and pretend that Overwatch 2 hype take over.

Much tranquility and silence on this part unless they prove doubters wrong which in terms for the gaming community is good.

-Haven Studios being bought by Sony, means that things are looking good on their first game, enough for securing the "Only For Playstation" subtitle" .

-(Probably I should wear a aluminium foil as hat for this oone) CD Projekt Red's surprising announcement that a new Witcher game is coming and FOR THE FIRST TIME, using Unreal Engine instead of their in-house RED Engine tells me who Tencent is really influencing gaming markets with this success of Tim Sweeney and Epic Games.

I see many have forgotten Tecent big influences on Epic Games and in parallel, Epic Games influencing the gaming industry since a few years ago.

Still don't know if it a good thing or not at long term, but people that are against Chinese entrepreneurship reaching American enterprises more deeply are in a nightmare right now.

In what was already something that may have been suspected from the start, Sony has confirmed that it has acquired Haven Studios, the studio that was founded by veteran Jade Raymond following her unceremonial departure from Google's Stadia Games & Entertainment when it unexpectedly closed. .

They are known to be developing their first AAA multiplayer game and feature veterans from the in-house studios that Google had acquired for Stadia.

Sony had made an earlier investment to earn it as a Playstation exclusive.

In my opinion, it's a good "Good morning and middle finger" from Jade Raymond to Phil Harrison and I'm glad.

En lo que ya era algo que pudo haberse sospechado desde un principio, Sony confirmó que ha adquirido a Haven Studios, el estudio que fue fundado por la veterana Jade Raymond luego de su salida poco ceremonial de Stadia Games & Entertainment de Google cuando se cerró inesperadamente.

Se sabe que desarrollan su primer juego multijugador AAA y cuenta con veteranos de los estudios internos que Google había adquirido para Stadia.

Sony había hecho una inversión anterior para ganarlo como exclusivo para Playstation.

En mi opinión, es un buen “Buenos días y dedo del medio” de Jade Raymond para Phil Harrison y me alegro.
