that doesn't tell me they paid 3.6b for an IP

- Ryan wants to go "beyond" consoles

- 'Aggressive roadmap with live services'

This is when I'm done with Sony.

Bungie kinda mid. They can make a fun shooter but you have to stay on their ass or it goes to shyt.

They paid $3.6 billion for a studio that will control itself and publish its own games but on a positive note it can act as support studio for online gaming activities. If they dropping that kinda money then Bungie should be a PlayStation studio and the only other platform supported should be PC. Forget about ever making another Xbox game.

This is what I said long ago

Microsoft has so much money just sitting there. They actually lose money by not buying stuff.

They don’t even need to make a huge profit for the acquisition to be “successful” in that context.

The funny thing is MS pushed the focus on the books hard for the Halo and it worked pretty good for them if you’re a fan of the lore. It’s not out the realm of possibility for Destiny for it to branch out.

Castlevania was lit, and there’s still a Cyberpunk and Splinter Cell show in the works. shyt, after watching Arcane on Netflix, it got me hyped about League of Legends after not playing it for a few years.

paid 2 much

when the company worth 20 times is like nah we aint paying that. u overpaying.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Remember when Sony stans said 2.5b for Minecraft was a “bad” deal.

Minecraft still printing more money than destiny ever has or ever will.

But in here Sony stans applauding Sony for how much they paid.

To be a Sony stan is to be a hypocrite

 

[Deman]

this is a 1.4 1.8b company on they best day

should of threw em the 1b to make exclusives n work on some multiple p shooters. sony did too much here

 

[Take It In Blood]

If you hype about this and was meh on Activision

I'd care if Bungie still had Halo.

Sony really paid 3 bills for Destiny


Unless Sony grabs Capcom, Konami and EA (together) ..... Microsoft won

 

[GoldenGlove]

Meach going in

Kinda what's going on with Apple. No company benefits from having mountains of cash laying around.

I don't play Destiny because I don't like multi-player games but I would love if they made a good single player FPS campaign for it.
