The CEOs who make these decisions are the most pathetic people in contemporary society.Someone should write a serious book chronicling the disastrous decisions these guys make.
>>739428408sucks that vidya developers don't own these studios. instead it's random rich people.

"Microsoft ultimately passed on acquiring Bungie due to the studio's price and concerns over its "high burn rate". Microsoft analyzed Bungie's financials and determined that sustaining their live-service operations and concurrent projects required cash outflows that outweighed the potential revenue highs."Another recent xbox W
>>739428408This, its retarded.Its obvious they were trying to cash in on the GAAS meme too late to the party as well as trying to snap up devs to counter MS but unlike MS who bought activision and bethesda, 2 big studios with IPs, they bought bungie who had what...destiny (and FPS expertise) and concord, which anyone can see that no FPS player wants to play that shit.They even eventually bought bluepoint and have since fucking shitcanned them. I bet the bluepoint higher ups were pissed. They could have just stayed a 3rd party studio and had contracts from sony and now konami to remake games.The smart move, business wise (for IPs) would have been for sony to buy ubisoft but ubisoft is such a mess in management that they are not even worth buying despite having some really big IPs.If I was in charge of sony i would have been trying to snap up konamis IPs when they were going full pachinko.Silent hill, MGS. Maybe even rope kojima into carrying the IPs on.Sony is just a general mismanagement of IPs.They dont even have studios working on things like infamous or sly racoon while sucker punch is fucking up with those ghost of shitshima games.They got insomniac on spiderman but nobody making ratchet and clank.Imbeciles.they could be shitting out these games from bug IPs every year and making bank. All they have to do is delegate the IPs to other studios.
>>739428787Jesus Christ, how dumb are sony guys?
Sony only bought them because they thought they were getting og bungie's talent. That's why they paid extra too keep veterans in the studio.Sadly, all veterans already left the company by the time bungie signed the deal. All sony has now is bungie in name and filled with nu devs who just left college or had as previous, the development of mobile games.

>>739428784many people are unable to grasp this because it revolves around the fact that money is an illusion. The destruction/ bad decision making of these companies is being done an purpose for societal change and they have unlimited dollars to make it happen.
