Even if you hand wave away any bias for/against Sony, it'll be a shame as much of SE's best work over the last few years has been it's smaller scale titles focused more on the Switch. Their in-house hit rate in the AAA league really isn't that great lately.
Not really.

Sony are actually one of the few companies that could probably be good for XIV if SE sells to Sony.

Case in point, the numerous studios that signed with them and still maintain a great deal of autonomy and independence from Sony, the only expectations Sony place on them is new IP exclusivity and optimisation/patching is done for their consoles as a priority for multi platform titles.

EA, Ubisoft, Activision, AGS or NCSoft are the ones you want to avoid like the plague.
