Sony acquires Bungie for 3.6B

[MarcP]

Desperation at COD going exclusive. Bungie hit a lick.

If it's true they were in talks with Microsoft like Jeff Grubb is saying then it's very possible they did it to make sure they didn't lose every big shooter to Microsoft.

For now. After destiny 2? Lol….

Destiny 3 will be multiplat as well.

Yeah Bungie is by far the kings of multiplayer shooters, thats not even a debate

It's CoD breh. You can't even spin it.

Sony getting 100% of the profits from Destiny is a big boy move, it was the right thing to do.

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

they really do business like Shonen characters

You mean the CoD that everyone just dragged through the mud? I’m not talking about just sales I’m talking about actual game quality

Also if the games they make are kept Multiplat, no big deal.

I just heard about this

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.

that won't happen because sony is a major investor in Fornite

I'm not pressed for CoD. I'm bored right now with Halo Infinite (release some new shyt PLEASE). Really needed/wanted BF to be byke but that's over apparently.

Regardless, Bungie is responsible for Halo and Destiny. They haven't failed yet.

The new IP they working on better be fire….I can’t fukk with Destiny, that shyts a snooze fest

They will probably use Bungie knowledge of shooters/multiplayer and leverage them for the other studios (firewalk, deviation etc)

Sony first party studios share tech and knowledge all the time, so on that front, having bungie in house definitely shores up a skill set that was not really present before.

It's CoD's world, the rest of these shooters just living in it.

Besides, the best quality shooter out right now is Halo.

There you go

Sounds familiar
