Bungie isn't going to be making a Destiny 3. They have been updating and cycling content in Destiny 2. Old content goes out and new comes in kind of thing or old content is refreshed etc.

Yeah, because there's always a risk that xbox platform owners react strongly to the news and abandon D2 thinking it doesn't have a future on their platform. That obviously means a loss of revenue for Bungie and in turn Sony.
Unlike a publisher. Bungie basically IS Destiny 2 at this point, so the studio value of 3.6B is essentially the value of the Destiny IP + the promise of future Bungie works.

Who said it was done in a week. They've said this has been in discussion for 5-6 months.
You think a big company managed to put together a multi billion dollar deal in a week?
As for this news, couldn't give less of a shit.
Give me a nudge when they buy Square Enix.
Just goes to show who is insecure if this "game", Jim very confident in the PlayStation brand, buy up a dev, instantly without any ambiguity or subtext announces they will stay multiplatform so all those people getting ready with their Destiny is garbage tropes, don't need to be afraid.
Rest easy xbox gamers, Jim's got you too.
Closing the deal seemingly as is was probably desperate as well as the price tag.
I don't own any xbox console nor have I ever.

It's funny you mention this seeing how SIE got outbid by Tencent last year to get Warframe's parent company. That combined with the Microsoft acquisition and today's news, it all feels like they made the best of two bad situations.

They got to be working on something. I have a hard time believing they have nothing on the backburner being worked on and the only thing they are doing now is Destiny DLC and mtx.

and when they say multiple platforms, they could honestly just release it on PC and PS and not be liars lol

Bungie is such a ironic company. They fought for their freedom from Xbox to make something other than Halo, to then nearly repeat the process with Activision. Now they have sold out to Sony.
Also, I think MS has sort of driven up the buy price of some these companies, and looking back Bethesda might have been a steal.

Feels like sony hit a jackpot with bungie for 3.6 compared to what Xbox did for more than 60 billion
Bungie has always made solid games and Sony always lacked aaa fps game so i think it's a huge win for Sony

The only game Phil is playing is getting GamePass on all platforms, please stop this nonesense based on your outdated ideas about what Microsoft Gaming and Microsoft actually want.
They have lost the console war, the new battle to take everyones money, regardless of platform, has begun.

Stop it, SIE's last net income for the year was about $11B
Microsoft checking if they can now buy the rest of the industry after Sony blew their big load on a single franchise.
That's the gaming division basically only

What goalpost moving? I may be confusing our conversation for others. This thread is moving fast lol. MS can buy more studios than sony. Absolutely. Not every studio is for sale and even if they were it might not actually matter is my point. Let's carry on and enjoy the show. I'm a pc guy primarily so I still win regardless of all this craziness.
Represent.

Bungie games will finally have good graphics.
Bungie... please revive Killzone on Decima engine.
This is going to be a LONG ASS gen. gear up.

After Cod goes exclusive.
As I read this in corporate speak.
1. Destiny 2 remains multi platform.
2. Bungie controls Destiny 2's platform "Destiny Universe"
New IP like COD competitor will be Playstation
Bungie actually left MS and then left Activision.
This could go down as the most boss move of all time if Bungie tech leads to the next top dog in the shooter genre. It would literally be creative freedom triumphing over non-gaming revenue stacks.

lol, not quite sure what to make of this but good for Bungie.
I do hope that this is the end of these acquisitions though.

They gone need 2 now. Because COD was the halo killer, an actually succeeded. It’s like a 2 v 1 right now lol.

Like i said, i felt like that was your point since you were arguing a post where i was saying the opposite.
Yes plans can change, but that doesn't change the fact that M has just more money to burn on silly\big acqusitions and if they both made an offer to the same guy, i don't see sony winning any battle because they just don't have the same amount of money to burn, M just need to make a bigger offer.

The question is - what studio more at the forefront of gamers' minds could Sony have gotten for a relatively reasonable price? What Sony wants is a flagship FPS studio to compete with CoD/Halo, and Bungie fits the bill.

I don't know myself. I remember the hype for the games was pretty huge though. To say it's a nothing ip is certainly an understatement.

Thinking about it, this Sony x Bungie deal has a lot of parallels with their Psygnosis acquisition back in the '90s. Psygnosis was still putting out PC versions of technically 1P games like Wipeout, and even ports to systems like Saturn like with Destruction Derby.
It eventually stopped by around 1998 or so, IIRC, but Psygnosis had a lot of multiplatform flexibility in that deal, and it seems like Bungie will have similar, at least for existing and maybe very specific future IP. But, like Psygnosis, I eventually expect their output to centralize around PlayStation and PC only, at least for native software.
I think Sony and Microsoft will eventually agree to some version of each other's streaming service on their platform to allow for cloud gaming of at least certain 1P content on those systems, forgoing native releases on those platforms. And wouldn't be surprised if they're already hashing out the terms on such a deal as we speak. But probably nothing starts to roll out until like 2024.
Just a hunch out of my ass

I think this is good for bungie, they’ve clearly negotiated themselves a strong position where they aren’t fully absorbed and don’t lose any staff to redundancy, they retain some autonomy, and could potentially but themselves out again one day if the economic winds are more supportive of independent development. In the meantime they get first class funding and support. Big W!

So does Microsoft get to do what Sony did when they bought Activision. "
but can we still has Destiny?"

Solid acquisition imo
Bungie under Sony can make some great new IP’s
Next up SE & Take Two?

It wasn't my point at all. I just laughed at the financial console war and about people who thought sony can't allow to spend such money for acquisitions until yesterday

I think they do have a new IP in the works. I was just speaking of Destiny 2 and how Bungie has been handling it. I do understand, that what their plan is now could change in the future at some point and we eventually do see a Destiny 3 but that is not what they have been doing. We are soon to get The Witch Queen.
Interesting tidbit, I have read that Bungie wanted to be able to do that with Destiny 1 but couldn't do so under Activision.

My original point was just about who has the biggest budget for acqusition and why this is not really a war, to be a war both parties need to have the same amount of ammo, and this is not the case.
Not sure why people are ripping their hairs off trying to understand such a simple concept.

They do but they're like F- tier. The ones making games like eFootball 2022, Contra: Rogue Corps, and Metal Gear Survive.

Interesting, virtually recovered every dollar from the lose with the Activision potential sale.
Maybe Bungie are as big a deal as people are trying to say they aren't (j/k they aren't a big deal, but evidence in the stock price is irrefutable proof I'm lead to believe)
