Sony acquires Bungie for 3.6B

[The Mad Titan]

Seems like a terrible buy when you think about what MS got with zenimax for 8.

Like a really really bad buy

Destiny with a sony first party budget

What you know about Destiny bro? That shyt been looking and playing as good as most AAA titles


Overall this is a solid response from Sony. Clearly they're looking to fill the multiplayer void that will be left once CoD is Xbox exclusive

 

[Captain Crunch]

Huh?

PS Plus has been a great program since the jump. Before PS Plus, Live Gold got you nothing other than paying to play online. It was free money for XBox. After Plus, they had to start giving you something for the membership.

The "free" games on PS Plus are whatever, plus there's no great multiplayer games on PS5.

I say this as a neutral, I basically have all the consoles

 

[Chris Cool]

They overpaid.

 

[levitate]

The controls are way too floaty. The aiming is janky which is why the aim assist was so strong. Almost felt like the game was playing for me.

shyt feels like Fortnite to me.

I said this in earlier thread that Sony should buy bungie. But at that Price they could have bought Sega. I would have rather them spent the money on a Japanese publisher than them buying an American developer.

Those Japanese publishers have to want to sell

Sega, Konami, From, Squeenix ....most of their titles sell more on Playstation regardless. No need to sell

Destiny is remaining multiplat...thank goodness. Almost felt the need to buy a 5 to actually use


If they come up with something Halo/Destiny level, I might anyway.

Good job, Sony

They all but swore they would stay indoe forever after Activision, but money talks I guess.

@Gizmo being hype about multiplatform GaaS games.

 

[Barnett114]

About to be in a reality where there's 5 companies left

Lol is this retaliation? fukk all these big company acquisitions. Nothing of value will come from either party.

LOL @ yall thinking a large acquisition is made in 2 weeks

 

[Rekkapryde]

The "free" games on PS Plus are whatever,

in your opinion, just like all of us.

point is before Plus, you got nothing with having a Live sub.

I don't understand why Sony bought them when everything they're posting says they're going to remain independent and multiplatform. These nikkas aint really panic buy some shyt like the stans were hoping they'd do did they? Because the terms don't align with Sony's MO at all.

Shambles

Eh Bethesda at 7.5 seems like a better deal than this.

3 billy for Destiny and the idea that these dudes made Halo once upon a time? Pool that money for the Capcom deal and really stick it to microsoft.

Seems like a terrible buy when you think about what MS got with zenimax for 8.

Like a really really bad buy

Nah don't downplay this, these ppl made two successful multiplayer IPs in Halo and Destiny. They can def make another one, only this will be exclusive to Sony. Sony needs multiplayer shooters, they now in the game.

I'm guessing that was a condition of the purchase. Maybe Microsoft tried to buy them and wouldn't promise that but Sony did.
