it is of course DPReview, they have a long history of Canikon bias, no
one except the big two made digital cameras that they had to care about,
for about 10 years. It would simplify their jobs, possibly into non
existence, though I doubt they realize that, if there were only one or
two camera manufactures.

The "rumor" didn't made sense from the beginning: *we* don't know the
details about the Ricoh-Hoya deal, but Ricoh definitely does.
Yet we're supposed to believe that Ricoh - who is preparing for the
November anniversary - is either a. unaware they would lose the right
to Pentax brand or b. investing money into promoting the brand then
suddenly stop?

There was a short "rumor" posted on Pentax Rumors in May, that
apparently, Ricoh's rights to use the Pentax brand name will end in 2020:
https://pentaxrumors.com/2019/05/20/rumors-ricohs-rights-to-use-the-pentax-brand-name-will-expire-in-2020/
10 days later, DPreview obtained a statement from a Ricoh spokesperson
who denied that:
