Close your fucking mouth when you eat you disgusting bitch.

Maybe people kept replacing the X360 because it had a good library of games.
Buying an Asian studio does nothing to counter Microsoft's moves. Microsoft has been gobbling up western studios. The average western player plays western games. Asian output is not under threat. Microsoft performs badly there and hasn't been gobbling up studios in the region. It would gain you absolutely nothing to purchase one.Capcom woulda been the right move but guess they had some trouble. This is such a weird buy IMO
I’m dizzy from that spin! No way that even comes close to COD.Bungie doesn't give you the baggage you get from buying Activision.
Huge difference between 70 billion and 3.6 billion and Bungie absolutely has the ability to create a game that breaks into CoD's market share. CoD has no competitors, but with Bungie Sony can probably give them 400-500 million dollars to make their CoD competitor. And then it makes sense to keep it multiplatform to get as much return as possible.
Sony bought Bungie to make fps for them, live of not, since they always failed to make good games in that genre. This has nothing to do with A/B acquisition since this has been in talks for the past 6 months as reported earlier ITT. A/B talks started two months ago.Explain me in a big long, detailed post, so I can understand it.
If you give me the "I don't want to waste my time on it", then yeah..
Shouldn't have posted at all then.
Clearly Activision Blizzard is the bigger deal (with the bigger price) but I'm sure Sony will get their money's worth.So you're saying Bungie with only Destiny is a better acquisition than Activision Blizzard, with Wow, Diablo, starcraft, call of duty, crash, spyro and so on and so on.
I know there's a hell of a price in difference, but we all know which of these are the price cows that's actually will get their moneys worth lol.
For the 3rd time, my point was not about who is more successful or who is gonna be more successful, buying more companies doesn't always traduce in success, never said otherwise.Okay. I got you. But this still reeks of unnecessary dick measuring. I'll go back to my counterpoint then. MS has always had more money. Always. It hasn't yielded them the results they want up until this point. Maybe it will someday? Nobody knows of course. Remember how successful Nintendo is without spending all this money? MS can try and buy up everything. It might not matter in the long run. That's also my other counterpoint. Anyway, I think we get each other by this point lol.
You'll be hearing from my lawyerwrong, 343i are the Halo killers... look how they almost killed the franchise over the years
With hookers and blackjack. One does not mess up the quote.They gonna make their CoD now, with strippers and blackjack.
I'm assuming Sony wants what Bungie has secretly in production. Maybe Destiny 3 or some other game.Now tell me that 7,5b for Bethesda was an overpay...

With an announcement this big, I expect Mountain Dew, Doritos AND Pizza HutMountain Dew is on me tonight honey
We’ll see, I’ve seen several of the big FPS game fade away in terms of popularity in my days. CoD is definitely past its peak.Nothing can dethrone CoD.
I’m sure he could afford a PS5Isn't spencer a huge destiny fan? I know he's an active player.
Weird times...
Neither one is going to be bought by Microsoft nor Sony.this is fuckin great for microsoft though. they can now buy take two or ea without impunity and without regulators breathing down their neck.
You're thinking like a gamer. What's the latest and greatest is most important to you. However, Bungie has been making a ton of cash from Destiny2 (it was one of Steam's most profitable games last year). That revenue will have massively helped define Bungie's value.I'm assuming Sony wants what Bungie has secretly in production. Maybe Destiny 3 or some other game.
Because if Bethesda at $7B and Activision at $70B are rip offs, how can Bungie be worth $3.6B for a studio whose last game is Destiny 2 in 2017 and since then they've made DLC. Thats it.
I understand that Sony indeed are panicking.Its not a flex. If you don't buy devs that want to be acquired, your opponent will. Do you want an industry where Microsoft owns every dev but those currently under Sony studios? In the last year Microsoft has proven they want to own as many studios as they can. At this point if Sony doesn't aquire those studios that are up for sale, Microsoft will. It seems pretty simple to me.
That carries far more risk, the smart business decision is to go with the studio(s) with a proven track record. But there's nothing wrong with partnering and supporting those other smaller studios at the same time.May be this will work out in future? I think it would be better to hire talent and make studious instead. There are probably very talented smaller studious that just need more employees and higher budget to make great games. But instead they decide to spend 3.6B $ lol.
I fully understand what you're saying. My counterpoint was that it might not matter. Your point might as well have been water is wet. MS has more money. No kidding?For the 3rd time, my point was not about who is more successful or who is gonna be more successful, buying more companies doesn't always traduce in success, never said otherwise.
I wouldn't say Sony failed to make good games in the genre. The games they made were good, they just didn't make a big impact. But they were solid games.Sony bought Bungie to make fps for them, live of not, since they always failed to make good games in that genre. This has nothing to do with A/B acquisition since this has been in talks for the past 6 months as reported earlier ITT. A/B talks started two months ago.
See, that's why you're not a CEO.
lol... Sony won't be doing that either, so scrap the bs.A right load of fuss over nothing. Bungie will remain independent and continue to release games for the Xbox. With the backing of Sony, it’s a win for all gamers this one. Pity I can’t say the same about MS’s recent acquisitions.
They have new IP that will be out in 2024/2025 but it will be multiplatI'm assuming Sony wants what Bungie has secretly in production. Maybe Destiny 3 or some other game.

He said:Did Phil actually say he would like Gamepass on PlayStation?
A quote would ve appreciated.
“We want to bring Game Pass to any device that somebody wants to play on,” Spencer said. “Not just because it’s our business, but really because the business model allows for people to consume and find games that they wouldn’t have played in any other space.”
Actually it's "blackjack and hookers". One does not mess up the order of the things in the quote.With hookers and blackjack. One does not mess up the quote.
Leverage.. All future Destiny expansions "free" on "Spartacus". All future Bungie games "free" on Spartacus. All future CoD's "free" on GamePass.
All multiplatform.
yep.. still coming, next capcom and square sonyI doubt they are done.
This is about more than just Destiny.Good that Tencent does not get it, but is this game really that big? Also no Marty O'Donnell.
Destiny sucks, not sure if like it's worth 3.6bn
Then again Activision, Minecraft, etc.
I could be wrong.
If thats the case the must be other benifits to ps gamers, probably free perks with Spartacus. Otherwise people say the same claims that were targeted towards Microsoft, that why stop being a multiplat publisher with one game, why not make Uncharted, Spiderman multiplatform etc!
