Sony acquires Bungie for 3.6B

[tinnyskillz]

I think 3.6B is just a little bit over what i think they should`ve paid for them. But years from now we might fukk around and say it was a steal, like with Insomniac. Sony probably picked them because they have an established multiplayer, and probably want them to pump out more because Sony could use some exclusive multiplayer's...it`s kind of an FU to MS to lol.

Watch Phil buy Epic or some shyt now, and secure Fortnite.

I have a feeling this gen is going to be a long, back, and forth one like none before it when it`s said and done.

I don't understand why Sony bought them when everything they're posting says they're going to remain independent and multiplatform. These nikkas aint really panic buy some shyt like the stans were hoping they'd do did they? Because the terms don't align with Sony's MO at all.

Desperation at COD going exclusive. Bungie hit a lick.

Shambles

The only companies microsoft can afford to buy (and even have it be worth it) aren’t game changers. There will never be another acquisition as big as Bethesda.

They wouldn’t even buy bungie, who are raking in cash with destiny and could have put together a system selling Halo for them.

Y'all playing catch up.

This is it.

I don’t see why they just can’t bring back Resistance and Killzone.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

So the first person shooter genre will still have some exclusivity and appeal on PlayStation. I dig it

Bungie > 343

Not really, it combination of tencent and Sony. And the potential of Amazon and Google

You really think MS would buy up studios if they felt they could comfortably release games without them being times exclusives or skipping Xbox completely?


They'd do just like was and doing and maybe buy a studio here and there while taking advantage of knowing games are coming out on your system either 1st or simultaneously.

MS bought zenimax and the biggest transaction with Activision and u blaming everyone but them



only a true Stan could do this

Nintendo turned down a massive bag at the time from Microsoft. Japanese are different

Because they are an American company. You hardly see American companies purchase Japanese companies. Sony is still a Japanese company alot more Japanese publishers would be open to being bought by Sony than Microsoft.

Calling Bullshyt at bungie staying multiplat

If there’s anyone that will go back on their “word” for self benefit it’s Sony ass, they don’t give no shyt about “good will” when they the market leader so don’t believe this PR

And best believe they will little bro Bungie and pull rank when the time comes

 

[Captain Crunch]

What the fukk was the point of buying when they’ll still remain independent and multiplatform?

They prolly got an exclusive new IP, Bungie can't make Destiny forever

Guerrilla is currently working on a multiplayer title. This buy is good because of the shared resources amongst studios

It'll be interesting to see getting all the FPS vets on board. I don't like futuristic shooters outside of Killzone though, because they usually arcadey. Killzone was good because it was gritty and realistic to a certain extent.

The jokes write themselves

 

[ItWasWritten]

I’m whatever on this

 

[CarltonJunior]

Seems like a terrible buy when you think about what MS got with zenimax for 8.

Like a really really bad buy

Them bungie nikkas done hit the lottery. There's no way they were worth 3.6 billion. They might've been worth 500 mil.

 

[The Mad Titan]

Nah don't downplay this, these ppl made two successful multiplayer IPs in Halo and Destiny. They can def make another one, only this will be exclusive to Sony. Sony needs multiplayer shooters, they now in the game.

Nahh it's not a downplay it's just in comparison for double the money they got what quadruple the studios? Along with a mega studio

Sony still got factions and the Firewalk and deviation titles coming out. So theres a lot of stuff on the table for multiplayer in-house right now

And we still got spider-man 2 and wolverine, and KoTOR.

They thought sony was down and now look, they got halo devs
