That is very possible and has happened in the past with many companies that have been acquired by bigger ones. However, the article states NTV has acquired a 42.3% share in the company. If over 50% of the remaining shares are still within the studio, they will still have control. It remains to be seen.
What I primarily didn't understand about the original comment was the “loved” part of it. People obviously do not like a studio going down the drain because of an acquisition so I don't get what the author meant to convey by sarcastically using "loved".
The loved part was sarcasm, and the quotes were to emphasize that it's something said by someone else at some point and not the belief of the person commenting.
