No, Sony bought them and their IPs. Means that with the first game of their next Halo/Destiny top IP (they are working on multiple new IPs, have 900 workers) will recoup this investment so after that everything will be profits and top IPs for Sony that they will be able to milk with other studios or in movies and tv.
They will stay multi, yes, just won’t release on Xbox.
MS won't rethink it, when MS bought Mojang, Zenimax or ABK they said that that their plan was to continue supporting these comunities on the other consoles where they already are. And for all the games, updates and DLCs they released until now it has been the case, none of them is Xbox exclusive. Maybe some in the future may be (probably only timed) console exclusive, but I'm pretty confident that the biggest ones will continue being multi.
You really think people jump ship because of the lead? Do you think this is a Naruto anime or something?
Sure, Just like Phil Spencer won’t take usebase from the competition. You’re drinking the same kool-aid ps users drank when believing Starfield would be on ps5. Seriously.
How is Sony getting the money if bungie has the optional publishing rights first if they want to ?
They get everything they want here.
Which doesn't really do much for me because I never liked Destiny. But I'm willing to accept that I might be the minority?
I fucking know that I was being sarcastic lol
I never believed that Bethesda games would make it on PS. The only ones I was edging towards were subscription games that would keep the playerbase up. Who honestly believed Starfield and Elder Scrolls would be on PS?
I don’t care about Bethesda, Bungie and A/B games, your point?
Yes, they’ll be left to their own devices, except they won’t release new games on Xbox. Destiny 2 is the last Bungie game on Xbox and it’ll keep receiving support. This is not hard to understand.
I actually understood everything until I read your posts.
Both Bungie AND Jim Ryan said the new games won’t be exclusive and Ryan even said they’d be on other consoles. So that kills the PS5+PC theory right there.
Just talking. Not trying to make a point.
He clearly meant the Ouya 2
Didn't Jim Ryan literally say they will release on "rival consoles"? That is a direct quote.
Yup
You can read the official blog post on PlayStation.blog or Bungie's own FAQs.
Yes, Sony has acquired Bungie. Yes, Bungie is joining PlayStation BUT Sony has agreed to let Bungie operate as if they are independent (can self-publish) and have clearly stated that their games will be on multiple platforms which includes the Xbox.
He didn’t say that or at least there is no quote about that.
That is the article’s words not Jim.
it's weird that he doesn't quote him yet the article is about the interview but its becoming clear what the strategy long term is and its live service as well ( like MS)
Thanks to share the quote I was referring to.
I showed you Jim’s words above.
He says Destiny will continue on all platforms and that will continue with future releases. And Bungie says their new game isn’t exclusive.
Yeap it is crazy.
It's in quotes. But even if you want to insist that it is the article author, it is re-enforcing the discussion between Bungie & Sony's CEO.
That agree with what I explained.
Read again.
They get GAAS experience from it instead of wasting an entire generation doing it themselves.
Such a great first month of the year

Bungie 1 on 1 with SONY is officially the best opportunity in gaming, talk about super charging your motivation.
