Compañía que quiso cobrar por saltos de Mario, ahora es inversora clave en Kadokawa
Versión original (refraseada):
La firma de inversión Oasis Management Company, con sede en Hong Kong, ha adquirido una participación significativa en el conglomerado mediático japonés Kadokawa. Según informes, Oasis ahora posee un 8.86% de Kadokawa, tras la compra de más de 13 millones de acciones.
Kadokawa es ampliamente reconocida por ser la empresa matriz de destacadas compañías de videojuegos como FromSoftware (creadores de Elden Ring), Spike Chunsoft (*Danganronpa*) y Acquire (*Octopath Traveler* 1 y 2, *Mario & Luigi: Brothership*), además de su vasta presencia en múltiples sectores del entretenimiento.
Oasis ha indicado que el objetivo de esta substancial inversión es llevar a cabo "actividades de propuestas clave". Esto generalmente implica que la firma buscará influir en la dirección de la empresa para potenciar la rentabilidad para sus accionistas. Un precedente notable es su acercamiento a Nintendo en 2014, cuando instó a la compañía a invertir fuertemente en el modelo de juegos gratuitos para plataformas móviles como Android e iOS.
La carta original de Oasis a Nintendo aún está disponible en línea y contiene declaraciones que resaltan su filosofía de monetización, como:
"Imagínate pagar 99 centavos solo para que Mario salte un poco más alto", o la irónica observación: "Por desgracia, tengo que comprar una consola Nintendo (que se vende con pérdidas) para poder jugar a Mario".
Aunque los planes específicos de Oasis para Kadokawa no se han revelado, la historia de la firma sugiere un enfoque en la maximización de beneficios. Queda por ver cómo este 8.86% de participación podría influir en las decisiones estratégicas de Kadokawa, especialmente en sus estudios de desarrollo de juegos.
English Version (Rephrased and Translated):
Hong Kong-based investment firm Oasis Management Company has acquired a significant stake in the Japanese media conglomerate Kadokawa. According to reports, Oasis now holds an 8.86% stake in Kadokawa, following the purchase of over 13 million shares.
Kadokawa is widely recognized as the parent company of prominent video game developers such as FromSoftware (creators of Elden Ring), Spike Chunsoft (*Danganronpa*), and Acquire (*Octopath Traveler* 1 and 2, *Mario & Luigi: Brothership*), in addition to its vast presence across multiple entertainment sectors.
Oasis has stated that the objective of this substantial investment is to undertake "key proposal activities." This generally implies that the firm will seek to influence the company's direction to enhance profitability for its shareholders. A notable precedent is its approach to Nintendo in 2014, when it urged the company to invest heavily in the free-to-play game model for mobile platforms like Android and iOS.
Oasis's original letter to Nintendo is still available online and contains statements highlighting its monetization philosophy, such as:
"Imagine paying 99 cents just for Mario to jump a little higher", or the ironic observation: "Unfortunately, I have to buy a Nintendo console (which sells at a loss) to play Mario".
While Oasis's specific plans for Kadokawa have not been disclosed, the firm's history suggests a focus on profit maximization. It remains to be seen how this 8.86% stake might influence Kadokawa's strategic decisions, particularly within its game development studios.
