Sony acquires Bungie for 3.6B
- Thread starter Gizmo_Duck
- Start date
Sony said up front this isn’t about “exclusives”
Same with Microsoft about the studios they bought.
More so than ever people don’t have to pick sides. There will be very few games that can be truly only played on one platform.

blathering blatherskite!
In terms of gaming, doesn't seem like much has changed. PS will still get exclusive shyt first and most of it won't come to Xbox just like currently. Oh well..
Phil probably going to look under the couch and find $4 billy and buy some shyt just cause

None of these acquisitions are going to do this. None of the multiplats involved are going to exclusive only with any of these deals because all of the multiplats involved, print money.
We are in an era where the sheer number of decent to good indie developers are eating into the major studios market share because they can produce a smaller scale IP, for less and quicker. And year after year, we're seeing a handful or less of these indie devs strike gold. Console makers are taking advantage and absorbing studios where they can because major studio games still drive console sales and popularity.
In 5 years or less, smaller studios will rise to take the place of those acquired because we know its common for a group of devs to breakoff and start their own studio because its the only way they get to work their passion projects.
The only thing different about this era of gaming is that there are only 2 companies at the top and they're incredibly wealthy.

Now post those weekly Crucible "engagement" numbers when Trials isn't up (or when it is up but the weapon/map is trash).
Ain't nobody or caring about Destiny like they do Fortnite, Apex, Halo, COD, etc. I say that as someone who's played the game since 2015. "Competitive" FPS games have been an industry centralizing juggernaut since 2004. A force Sony has tried and FAILED to capitalize on multiple times with the likes of Killzone and Resistance... both of which are dead in the water as IPs and have NEVER come close to making any waves in that market the way Microsoft's flagship IP did back in the day and how COD and BR games do now. Sony is hedging their (exorbitant) bets that "Matter" or whatever it'll actually be called will have the same impact now that Halo did back in the day (and is slowly starting to once again) and that they'll finally be able to have a LASTING piece of the lucrative console FPS pie. Cause shytty ass Destiny crucible sure as shyt never will.
yeah they were....Doom, Deathloop, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Evil Within weren't earners?
but doom and wolfenstein's multiplayer modes don't even measure up. you're missing the point of the acquisition breh

I don't like it, but Sony was money hatting franchises from going to other platforms for generations.

You posted all of that for what though? No one has ever claimed Destiny to be a competitive fps though. It's a looter shooter, still after 5 years, the #1 looter shooter.Now post those weekly Crucible "engagement" numbers when Trials isn't up (or when it is up but the weapon/map is trash).

Halo infinites 30 day avg is less than half of what destiny's is. Halo barely pulls over 20K on steam at any given time.
