Was the Bungie purchase a good move or nah?

[PS5 Pro]

I remember the cries of hostile takeovers and I guess it has come to is conclusion.

Microsoft on the side like

 

[TripleAgent]

 

[Rice N Beans]

If they don't produce, of course it will be bad looking back.

Otherwise, D2 is still running with good numbers. They need to make sure Marathon gets out of hell with the bad dev environment and art theft.

 

[gurf]

Nah

 

[Diondon]

Wished they had left MS' trash where it was

 

[Rekkapryde]

So far, nope

 

[Chris Cool]

Most of us said it wasn't good at the time. Bungie been .

It was a waste of money. It was a purchase made to go in a direction they never needed to pivot to and Bungie was in decline at the time anyway.

At this point they need to redirect Bungie away from live service games and more to what Sony does best.

Bungie worse decision was leaving Halo. You had the most popular brand at that time and you decided to leave for Destiny

Halo would of still been relevant if they stayed on it. Sony bought Bungie due to Microsoft purchasing everything else. It was a reaction purchase. Terrible idea

Halo had it's time. There was no where else for it to go. Microsoft should have kept Bungie and let them do something else.

 

[Hey_zeus]

We're not playing Factions now so nope.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Na!!!

Microsoft shouldve told them to “Shut up and make me some Halo”

Ala Drake to Metro

Trash purchase.

 

[5n0man]

Yes, we'd probably would've gotten Factions if Sony didn't buy them.

Destiny was a great game that Bungie fukked up. Microsoft not allowing Bungie to take a break from Halo was the real fukk up. Not only did it cause Bungie to leave, Halo hasn't been the same since.


It would be like Sony forcing ND to keep making uncharted games until they left and made Last of us with someone else.
