The timing would also suggest that it could be part of Alphabet. On the other hand, why wouldn't they even mention Alphabet if they were becoming a subsidiary? I'm confused. At a minimum, it sounds like Google is somehow still involved.

It could also be referring to more of the partnerships they've had in the past, such as the company branded game items (AXA, MUFG, Softbank).
