Sony buying Bungie for $3.6 billion, Destiny 2 and future projects will remain multiplatform

[Proven]

The content War is real, excited to see what Xbox does next

I like it for the following reasons:

• Bungie maximizes their price
• Sony has Bungie to help them make FPS games with good controls
• Future Bungie games are explicitly said to stay multiplat
• I can watch as people flip flop to supporting acquisitions and identify hypocrites more easily

I think Xbox is going after Take Two, EA, or Sega. Large scale publishers

They aren’t going to spend 3.6 billion on one game/studio which costs half as Bethesda

I don’t expect Multiplatform bungie games once Destiny 2 is finished.

Not only that but all Activision Blizzard IPs are massive cash cows. Even if they remain the same with improved working conditions. They money pouring in is guaranteed like Minecraft. MS is playing smartly.

Yep. Once the purchase goes through Xbox will have an ungodly amount of games that just constantly churn money.

makes sense. Microsoft has less to gain from Bungie than Sony would.

@Weaam

lol tell that to xbox who was also in bidding war these mean nothing to MS/Xbox

They obviously didnt want to lose Bungie but they clearly didnt care enough to outbid Sony

and I don’t blame them, 3.6b is a rip off

@Jerm411

Half of what Zenimax cost for……1 IP.

LOL ok….

Plus it came with all those sweet sweet IPs.

Interesting. Especially with Phil having said that MS probably didn’t need to let Bungie go.

True!

I don’t think Sony can really help on the fps games with good controls department lol.

@javycane

Bungie at Xbox would had been a headache especially with Halo. Im sure xbox feels good with what they have in the market right now regarding FPS.

So au revoir shoshana.

ngl whenever I thought about Xbox + Bungie I thought it’d only ever be for a “want” romantically in a way, not a need or strategic effort.

Yeah, lol, wrong quote.

Go buy SE now Phil….

There’s a FAQ from Bungie that explicitly says they will be. Probably part of the reason MSFT didn’t want to overpay for them.

Nah fam F SE. Sony can have them. They can have Konami too.

Phil go get Sega + Capcom and we good.

@mrbobman15

Not going to lie this feels a little bit like a gut punch, however I also think this was a genius acquisition on Sony’s part and a great match for what PlayStation needs.

Imagine what losing Activision and Blizzard feels like then.

[Bits-N-Pieces]

I can see Phil cutting a cheque to get their next game on Game Pass, lol
