There’s literally very few IPs that would ever be worth bringing back. Most of them are dead for a reason sadly. Destiny is a bigger IP than Resistance, Killzone and SOCOM combined - why would they chuck Destiny in the bin to work on a dead IP that was never huge in the first place? Makes no sense apart from to satisfy a nostalgia boner.I cringe every time I read about these dead and buried IPs. There’s even people talking about ressurecting Motorstorm.
(Hahaha I got my Perfect Dark reboot tho so fuck tha po’lice)

Agreed. But it wouldn't surprise me if MS did choose to leave CoD $70 on PS and pick around the edges more for exclusive content. "Free" vs. $70 is a compelling advantage alone, plus, once you get past the existing Sony contracts it won't be Xbox missing modes and DLC content. Some of these acquisitions are about protecting content vs. 100% exclusives, IMO. Xbox can never lose CoD now, and should things move in a more streaming focused future, MS's service will have CoD when no others would.
With that said though, Activision is painting a picture that definitely leaves room for exclusives. Especially after Activision responded with a list of specific titles rather than a blanket statement when questioned about the future of CoD.

Is almost as if you are willfully ignoring what is written in plain text for all to see.
What part of this are you struggling with?
Q. Bungie has future games in development, will they now become PlayStation exclusives?
No. We want the worlds we are creating to extend to anywhere people play games. We will continue to be self-published, creatively independent, and we will continue to drive one, unified Bungie community.
I like this from Sony, going straight were Microsoft are too scared to.
Buying someone to complete their own portfolio, not to remove it from somewhere else.

You are wasting your time. Facts is a language not many around here speak, let alone understand.To people that won't enter in the Discord Server.
Destiny is that HUGE!

Socom nor Killzone are failed ip's... Socom 1 2 and even 3 are still one of the best online games in early 2000's.

It's not possible to play it through Battle.net at all anymore. Steam is the ONLY PC launcher for it now.

Ok, so you have no idea what you're talking about and have flown off on a tangent now that I've made that painfully clear. I won't reply again. Best of luck friend.

If I’m Jimbo I would rather spend 63 billion on AB than 3.6 billion for the Destiny IP.

So these SteamDB numbers are not reliable with Bungie’s API data… or they track different things (daily activity is different from concurrent players).
The point is there is over 800k guys playing Destiny every day… from these around 35% is from PC… 25% Xbox and 40% PS.

Not PlayStation exclusive could easily mean PlayStation & PC and a cloud solution (they’ve still got an Azure deal, right?)

Bungie was valued at 2 billion recently, Sony paid nearly double, its a very bad deal.

How so? Steam is the ONLY way to play the game on PC. It no longer exists on Battle.net, you had to migrate your purchase to Steam when Bungie split from Activision.
There's no other way to play Destiny on the PC than on Steam.

Who valued that? Using which parameters?
As long as there is one launcher, it should be okay.It was launched late on Steam.
The original launcher is Battle.net.
In any case I don’t know how that Steam DB works because around 30% of activity are PC users.
Charlemagne, Destiny Warmind
Fully featured and proven Discord bot for Destiny 2. Charlemagne provides access to a rich collection of stats, clan leaderboards, lfg/event management, and clan management tools for PVP and PVE players.warmind.io
There seems to be some question marks about the stats either steamdb or warmind.io, I don't know if there is any way to clear it up. Steamdb.info is using the steam api afaik (https://steamdb.info/faq/ )

Smart acquisition (albeit a bit pricey) for Sony, making sure they don't get shut out of FPS and multiplayer game market so people continue subscribing to PS+. The way they worded it sounds like it'll be multiplatform for a long time but I don't know how much I believe it beyond Destiny 2 and any existing games in development.
That being said, for me personally, this doesn't really move the needle for me, Bungie is no longer the studio that made Halo, and I was not really a fan of either Destiny 1 or 2. I hope they're able to fix their issues (maybe Sony can improve their story and narrative in future games) and I think they do have the potential to make a great game again, but this acquisition doesn't make me more or less interested in buying Playstation, and unless they release a new killer IP I don't know if this would make be subscribe to PS+ either.
Either way this seems like a move that will benefit Sony financially, but remains to be seen what kind of benefit current Playstation gamers should actually expect from this.

So Playstation is heading in a service based direction too..
Or it heading multiple directions. Maybe service for some normal for their top tier single players or something like that

Warmind uses Bungie’s API.
And Steam API is not open anymore like in the past… SteamDB changed due that.

Only if you’re a gamer and want different IP’s for Playstation. With MS buying 3rd party IP’s id rather they buy a publisher with more playstattion centric IP
I kinda get where ur going with this but...
There's only so many game dev companies in the world. If you are, say Meta, Amazon, Tencent, MS, or whoever and looking to add games, you better no wait to long.
Everyone knows theres competition right now and if you snooze you lose. Subscription services need content. Otherwise ur better off just outright buying the games as they release.
I'm assuming that most of these companies are thinking about sub services.

You can play all the games you want at 60 FPS on Bravia TV if you want
Don't know if someone already knew it or if it works with XSX or PS4 and other consoles, but there is a "trick" to play all your games "at 60 FPS", at least on ps5, with a new Bravia TV . Keep in mind I'm not english so my translation of the menu setting could be completely wrong. It's very...

Your reading too much into it. They are keeping the already released game multiplat.
After that who knows.
I'd guess exclusive or PC + PS5.
Maybe they'll stroke a swap deal with Microsoft is another slight possibility

Phil's vague comments, and lies to the markets has you all twisted mate.
"We want the worlds we are creating to extend to anywhere people play games."
Pretty clear.
Unless people don't play games on xbox anymore?

Maybe by multiplat they mean PC and PS5 outside of Destiny 2 etc
A PSV2 game made by Bungie would be cool tho

I think the reasoning of this acquisition is:
-To own a top tier FPS IP and potentially more from them in the future
-To own a top tier big scale MP game and potentially more from them in the future
-To own a top tiear GaaS and potentially more from them in the future
-To own future potential top tier new FPS/MP/GaaS IPs, these folks are the ones who created Halo and Destiny
-To have a top FPS/MP/GaaS team to teach or support the other PS Studios teams on the related topics with related knowledge, tech and tools
-To secure that Bungie, Destiny and future Bungie new IPs aren't bought by people like MS who would potentially try to put them away from PS and Spartacus
-To add Bungie's related revenue and profit on top of thte current SIE division one
-To use Destiny and maybe future Bungie IPs on movies or tv shows
-Potential future metaverse a.k.a. PlayStation Home 2 shit

Guess that means Destiny 3 is coming to Switch, Android and IOS then. You’ve convinced me. I repent, and won’t wank off to my Phil Spencer shrine with my green dildo up my arse tonight.

Game Pass is not just a game download service. It offers cloud gaming functionality as well. So no, they are not totally dependent on hardware sales.
But destiny is both free to play and staying multiplat. Not surprisingly as free to play has little reason to he exclusive.

Destiny 2 is not exactly free to play.
It has a base game that can be free played (old content)… and that means nothing.
The last activities and content are still locked for these that brought the game/expansion/seasonpass.

3.5b is less than 7 or 70 so it must be bad. Sony has a moron as a leader haven't you read the script? Sony as a corporation will declare bankruptcy after next year cod, haven't you read all this professional analyst in all this threads? Pick one of the 3 or a mix of the three and you have your answer
Ok fair play that Sony isn't forcing exclusivity. But can we not act like they've never money hatted anything. Especially when were talking about destiny lol.
