I would not be surprised if Bungie (with Destiny 2 alone) makes more revenue that Bethesda (which will ebb and flow based on release cycles).

Would have been crazy huge back then, nowadays Bungie is not a big deal.

Yes of course, have it on TVs where people like Samsung will pay you $0.10 per screen sold, and no one ever uses it, or pays for a subscription after the free trail runs out.Denial
Why be bother by playstations installbase when they are putting gamepass on TVs and more devices.
vs. sell it to a gamer, just not on "your platform" who will likely sub if the offer is good for them.
I'm sorry you continue to stick to the toxic "tribal" gaming scene Phil hates, but this is happening, as soon as Sony and Microsoft come to an agreement about it.
MS cannot do C(onsoles)aaS, and G(ames)aaS needs paying subscribers to succeed.
PS and Nintendo have a massive majority on console sales, MS be courting them hard.

Now Sony can use Bungie to finally make Killzone a Halo Killer!

So this is why Lucid Games was taken off Twisted Metal reboot.
Well played Sony, well played.

If you thing Sega would go for 8 billion in time when Bungie shopped themselves for 3,6 billion, I have a bridge to sell to you

Yup... Meanwhile they were backstabbing and killing Japan Studio from behind
And while No Platinium games, No Kojima Prod, No fromsoft, No Sega, no SE, No Capcom, No Namco Bandai ect...
I don't give a flying fuck about Halo or Destiny or some other Panpan GaaS shiet!!!
If MS and/or Nintendo will be the ones/ and Not Sony who will aquire the japanese studios and publishers, then i'm done with Sony. Enough is enough.

LOL. So true.
Sit back and enjoy the PC multiplat while Sony and MS play cloak and dagger with their PR and exclusive/not exclusive games.

I’m pretty sure the Bungie team is still traumatized after being with MS and wants more freedom!

Insomniacs output and quality of games versus just Destiny over the last 12 years.
Less than 300 mill vs 3.6 billion. Why?

It's all about revenue stream and western games have it with tons of mtx and GAAS. Japanese games dont trend to that.
I'm sure Sony could had used that $3.6B and buy a modest Japanese company that has tons of games. But the bean counters concluded it's best to put into Destiny games.

No, Microsoft sounds as if they turned down Bungie's offer. And Bungie asked Microsoft for less than what Sony just paid. If I had a choice between Bethesda and Bungie, I'm choosing Bethesda. If I have a choice between all of Activision Blizzard and Bungie, I'm again taking Activision Blizzard. But Bungie is an excellent studio pick up for Sony, and this is exciting for all gamers. Let. Them. Fight.

Like I wrote before. Destiny 2 has reached top revenue tier on Steam 2019, 2020 and 2021. CoD did not break into that group any of those years in comparison. Destiny is a monster game that is under appreciated here.
Edit: My mistake that CoD was taken off steam in 2018 (do not play it anymore outside consoles). The Destiny revenue generation stands though - really a monster revenue franchise.

3.6 Billion for a single studio whose games will remain multiplatform anyway? Seems kind of a waste of money to me, but what do I know. I would‘ve expected a company like Tencent to be the ones to buy Bungie eventually.
I‘m not sure what Sony is supposed to be getting out of this, since nothing has really changed as far as games are concerned.

i have to said it again ?
I said they have 6b to spend in around 3 years for playstation they can spend 1 1.5 at year or all in one time.. whatever but those are the money they projected to spend (from 13 to 18b for the entire company)
i Alsop added wake me up when they spend more than 5....and also...they will buy a little japanese publisher .....how the fuck you think that I said they will buy square Enix ...for 1 1.5b???....those are the money they can spend period...and i added they don't have the money to buy T2 or ea

Someone mentioned it previously but Destiny revenue is like 2B, roughly half Zenimax revenue.
It’s like the second largest shooter franchise next to CoD
So yeah, it’s a huge property. That’s what you’re paying for, future revenue streams.
Studio size isn’t the relative metric. If you want to buy studios, Zenimax makes sense. If you want to buy a massive FPS and GaaS company buy with less employees to manage, Bungie makes sense.
I feel like Bungie is going to be the centerpiece of all PlayStation GaaS / Community driven games, and that’s an area they are lacking. Microsoft wasn’t as jacking and especially not now after buying Activision

Sept 2020. Why would he ever admit to ongoing talks and discussions? It doesn't happen. Jez is pretty well cued in. If he says Bungie gave Microsoft a price to bring them in, I'd say it's likely true. His sourcing has never been bad for the record on Microsoft and Xbox.

Already have but I got in to playstation from the very beginning for their Japanese titles not for their western cinematic games.

Capcom brings in fighting games, like Street Fighter plus games lile DMC, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter. Fighting games is something Sony needs.
If they lose those titles to Xbox it will be awful. Way worse than losing Bungie.
Plus Capcom have alot more other IP’s than bungie.
If Sony or anyone in fact buys a combined Sega, Square and Capcom they will always have fans buying there consoles regardless what games the other sides have.

I don't get the point though if they are going to keep it multiplat unless it was like the Minecraft deal where it was a condition of the sale.
