Sony acquires Bungie for 3.6B

[levitate]

Desperation move due to Microsoft buying up everything. shyt not moving a needle at all. This may explain why some bungie employees went to 343 a couple of months ago. This deal was in the works for 6 months

Mad and scared.

I mean if they can make a solid FPS game to compete with COD then it's understandable otherwise I don't know. Hell we don't know if the OG halo creators are even there.

I’m thinking this. Sony gonna need a solid laudable FPS once COD is gone.

I’m still not really liking this industry consolidation shyt. From Comcast/NBC/, to ATT/Dish/HBO, Disney, Microsoft, this deal.. etc etc..these megatrons gonna put a hurting on the creative industry as a whole, IMO

Bungie games will finally have good graphics

Imagine Bungie working on Killzone. OHHHH shyt

Xbox nikkas thought getting crash bandicoot was insulting to PS the studio that basically invented xbox is now under playstation

This is the part i like the most

The first part of the post makes sense to me, especially if Bungie was looking for Destiny to get the Halo treatment, I can see the possibility of a Destiny movie or TV series.

But as far as leverage goes, I don't think there's any leverage there. M$ doesn't bat an eye if they lose Destiny. They have Halo and CoD, they don't lose sleep over Destiny.

I meant more like Sony puts themselves in a position where losing CoD hurts, but isn't as much of a backbreaker. Ultimately, I don't think either side is looking to pull games off of platforms, as much as they're looking to take 70% of the revenue made off of those games on opposing platforms by virtue of owning the IP.

Seeing figures that Destiny makes anywhere from 100 to 300 million a year.

These nikkas got bought for 3.6 billion. These nikkas hit a lick.

I need to make a game development company these nikkas are stealing money.

Can't you see the gaming world is changing bro??? This shyt not going to be brick and motar nomore. Why you think every leading company buying shyt the fukk up. This game system shyt is a rap.

COD is the biggest seller on their platform by a good margin. If they lose thay and GTA, they're in trouble, exclusives be damned. This is an arms race. One they can't win with money, so they're applying

That's a pipe dream that MS is selling. There is no evidence that says game systems are going goodbye anytime soon.

They can't even keep ps5s on the shelves.

This is like a girl you love saying she'll marry you but you gotta let her have an open marriage and she can do whatever. It just seems like that would be a nope.

I can agree with that, yeah. But specifically I feel that this is a gamepass/spartacus venture. By having Destiny in particular exclusive to spartacus, that gives Sony a multiplayer FPS that actively makes money on their platform, which they previously lacked.

But still, CoD on gamepass is a head turner.

Sony needs to get square enix, imagine that library past and present being PlayStation only forever.

THAT would be the next logical step

It doesn’t benefit any FPS game to be console exclusive at the end of the day. You want as large a player base as possible, this goes for COD and whatever else.
