Yeah, there is no doubt about it. They are low key downplaying it but that is pretty much expected — as sad as it is.

Recipe for disaster. Sony have spent nearly $4b. They can’t be dictated to by what is effectively now a branch of their company.
Nice, I love it when a man brings receipts
The game got boring, haven't played it since shortly after the PS5 version launched and those fuckers removed content, which annoyed me.

I'll never understand why people like Destiny. I understand, the game just isn't for me, but the grind, number of expansions, the way they lock out content. It's such a weird game that doesn't sound any fun to me.

It doesn't matter to me either way but I am telling you this is a partnership type of relationship and there is no reason for them to say it will be multi-platform if it isn't going to be.

No I’m not saying that, I’m saying the statement they are making immediately after the purchase is weird. And it’s not like they have to do it for regulatory reasons so I’m confused what the point is.
Also I know everyone says that whenever there is a purchase but I really don’t mind Destiny 3 or anything else Bungie makes being exclusive to PS5/PC.

100%.
Love it too. Comfortably my most played game.
But I’m not sure how big the player base is these days. Sorting out the Crucible would really help. They need to get supers out of pvp or at least have a playlist that eliminates them.
Seems a bit high, especially because they don't have that many IPs under their belt (did they kept any from their older buyouts?) But it makes total sense. FPS experience, multiplayer experience. Something that it's missing in Sony's portfolio. I expect that we will see a new few ups from them in the future.
Still, feels weird to hear this news, is like the third time someone has bought them and they end up fighting to be independent

They do it to calm people down. There's a lot of Destiny players on Xbox and they don't want to upset their fanbase. I don't care about this purchase tbh because I don't like FP games or GaaS.

Thing with Destiny is just like 343’s effort with Halo 5 - the gunplay and core mechanics are tight and sound. It’s just everything else that is a bit wishy washy. The studio is capable of putting something amazing together.
People can forgive annoyances as long as the gameplay is good. And it is good.

It's a first person Diablo with the best gunplay on the market. I understand your critiques (and agree with them), but the game can be quite fun.

This reminds me of when Microsoft bought Mojang and Minecraft for 2.5 billion.
Its a portfolio move.

Agreed 100% but I'd want them to keep supers in PVP but having a separate playlist without is fine.

I genuinely thing the Activision purchase is worse than Mojang, Bathesda, Bungie - all of them. Activision is literally just buying the casual crowd.

Why would people be downplaying it when they are remaining multiplatform?.
And trying to suggest anyone who doesnt like Destiny 2 is some undercover Xbox fanboy is ludicrous. I put 12 hours into Destiny 2 on Steam and couldnt take anymore. I actually was going to go back and play through the campaigns but Bungie took them out. Yes the actual Destiny 2 campaign isnt in Destiny 2 anymore lol.

There is one company out there that would need a company like EA to help bring their vision to full fruition...
I'm leaning on this happening.
again you just dreaming i know what i said and i quoted myself ...and i say again wake me up when song will spend more than 5b in an acquisition. moke me when they will do. they still have to spend something like 2b/3b for the next 2 yearsYou just clowned yourself.

It doesn't include time on Orbit or Social places.
I hope their new game can give us the best of Destiny and not Destiny 2.
Fell good.
Sadly they moved from that with Destiny 2

The similiarities in the discourse of bethesda/activision chatter on this forum and the now the sony bungie acquisition stuff are not a fluke. And yet you have people on here who swear up and down that the xbox stuff will remain exclusive (future games) but yet the bungie (future titles) will not because of sony exec/bungie exec statements,
If you believe ms is willing to keep the stuff exclusive then u also believe this is just pr fluff for now from sony/bungie, u dont get to have it both ways because there are quotes out there that indicate bethesda and activision games will still hit playstation at some point from spencer himself.
This is a move imo to keep ms in check u want future bungie stuff? Dont fk around with activision stuff.

Bungie literally posted about it on their site saying they will still publish and be multiplatform. None of this makes sense if true.

I think many of us are waiting for all the Sony fans criticizing MS deals to go into profitability analysis mode and evaluate why spending $3.6B on a game company whose last game is Destiny 2 from 2017 is such a great deal. Lets see that net present value payback analysis.
Oh and here's a good one Sony fans kept PRing which can be aimed at Bungie too as it's the same concept...... how long is it going to take Sony to recoup $3.6B of profits from Destiny to pay off the acquisition?
Bungie has been fully multiplat with Destiny from the beginning. So it's not like Bungie is one of those tight know studios partnering on Sony exclusives either. That's another criticism of MS deals. And Sony did the same.
If the Bungie PR is true, it looks like Bungie can even do their own thing without a leash so their future games will go Xbox and PC too.

It seems Sony doesn’t give a fuck about gaming IP.
All the studios they buy dont really have valuable IP. Insomniac, Bungie(I guess Destiny), Naughty Dog, Blue Point, Etc.
Sonic The Hedgehog (Sony Pictures Animation)
Sonic The Hedgehog was a cancelled live-action/animated fantasy adventure film made by Tim Miller that was scheduled for a 2016 release, but never released. It was in production since 2012, but then was later permanently cancelled. Chris Pratt as Tom Wachowski Ben Schwartz as Sonic A big fight...

They have Killer instinct but my point was more what if MS purchase IP’s like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, or Monster Hunter. Id hate not to be able to play those
DMC and Resident Evil are classic Playstation esck franchises. And Playstation dont have a survival horror game like Resident Evil. The franchise is a hugely popular IP.
I woudnt care what Playstation bought before, I was happy with them expanding studios slowly like they had been before. Working with studios exclusively and creating IP’s and then purchasing them.
But with MS buying 3rd party IP’s and Publishers, Id like Playstation to stop some of them going to MS. Desiny wasn’t a IP I care about losing even though Ive played over 1000 hours of it

Question for the people asking what the point of the purchase is (since they are saying multiplatform):
Are you questioning why Sony would make as much money as possible with multiplatform, or wondering if someone else is going to make as much money as possible with multiplatform?

It’s so hard for them because they’ve built this idea of a living, breathing world. It’s not like CoD where you have no connection to your character; much more like WoW.
If they could add random playlists, I’d love to see a ‘grounded’ type game mode with standardised weapons and no supers. Team death match and control. Would play it forever. But that doesn’t fit the lore, so won’t happen.
Looking forward to Witch Queen. Still trying to grind a decent Ikelos smg. Damn you world loot pool!

Some thoughts:
- If the deal has been in the works for around 6 months, could this be the reason why all the expansions left Gamepass?
- I love Destiny, bought a PS4 to play it with friends and played all Destiny 2 expansions on Xbox but, although I have no idea of their revenue numbers, 3.6B$ seems a lot
- I don't expect new games to release on Xbox, multiplatform means PS, PC and maybe smartphone
- it's kind of weird seeing how Bungie went from MS to be independent to Activision to be independent and to Sony now. Why all those changes?

ND has Uncharted and Last of us. Pretty big. Insomniac has Spiderman. Huge. I'd say this post is full of it.It seems Sony doesn’t give a fuck about gaming IP.

I do think they might buy Sega, since Sony Pictures might want Sonic back. Sony treats Playstation like their side hustle when its their money maker for some reason. I read articles how Sony studio heads are salty about Sonic. They pretty much created the movie, then lost the rights.Sonic The Hedgehog (Sony Pictures Animation)

I agree, but the casual audience brings installed base, which in turn allows for big development investments. I'm not playing CoD since ps3, but I'm happy that it contribuites to grow the installed base for titles that I like.
And in my opinion, Bungie doesn't has nor the past value and talent, neither the Sony phylosophy of game development.
But I would be happy to be wrong when I will see their first Sony title.
