Sony acquires Bungie for 3.6B

[CarltonJunior]

It's the truth, when people say we see a future without consoles, we arent talking next year, or even 2027, we're talking 20-30 years down the line

Here we go let's not turn this thread into something it's not

How dare they just buy this and take this multiplat from Microsoft.

I don’t like this at all, what happened to building studios and talent organically??

 

[MajesticLion]

Panic buying

Sony Stan here, this ain't it chief.

Yep, shyt like this is just going to accelerate the move to a full on services industry. And that's not something I'll ever support.

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.

That's a bad analogy because there's no tangible benefits there whereas Sony now gains the lions share of revenue from their [multi-platform] service games. And that's on top of this:

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.

BINGO

destiny started out playsattion exclusive, how is that not organic?

 

[Rozay Oro]

I tried to get into Destiny, but the controls just felt floaty as fukk to me.

Destiny felt like a f2p game to me. Hopefully they make something solid soon

 

[breakfuss]

Assuming this has to be for the talent/pedigree and not the Destiny IP. Maybe I'm biased as a former diehard who fell off. It's become impenetrable for newcomers or even if you lapse for a couple months. I've legit been trying to get back into it for years but you need a damn PhD to parse the in-game economy.

Great post. Deals can always be struck after the fact

No the fukk it didn’t

Looks like they are staying multiplat anyway.

Sony moving like Microsoft. Multiplats, PC games, subscription services.

Scary times

this and theres a lot of other underlying benefits to this. They now own Desitny IP, they can turn it into movies, cartoons/anime, tv shows, etc.

they also get shared resources and experience....they also have full on marketing for Destiny and when the new game hits its gonna be even more of a benefit for sony to have their names on it. everyone wins in this scenario
