Was it worth it? Or do you think they regret it?
>>743373132>4B in the hole100% regret
>>743373132Their revenge on bungie for halo now is complete
>>743373132Phil Spencers best move.
>>743373132Think of all the money they saved living rent free in chuds' minds
>>743373132Considering the fact they've yet to make any damn money, and the game that could've made them money is now dead, on top of another abysmal flop, i'm thinking they're not too thrilled.It's like if someone bought your house from underneath you, and threw your wallet in the poopoo toilet.
>>743373132The top replies of that post are golden
>>743373132>Was it worth it?It gave us Marathon (best multiplayer shooter of the last 10 years)So yes, well worth it
>first thing they do is tell Naughty Dog to cancel the only Live Service game that would have been well received
>>743374039>blue checkmarksXshitter is so unusable. Also lmao mgb has always been such a playstation weirdo.
>>743373132>Was it worth it?
>>743373132Sony is fucking retarded so I think they still believe it was a good investment. even though it wasn't.
>>743374184>Lost to DuckovCHADS
Apparently they got most of Jim Ryan’s service games cancelled which is based
I had tons of laughs while watching bungie flop, so yes, well worth it
>>743373132If Sony put that same $3.7b into the S&P 500 and just let it sit, it would've earned almost $2b.Actually, after putting this into>https://ofdollarsanddata.com/sp500-calculator/it would've made Sony even MORE money if they just invested it back in 2022 because they could ride the AI wave.Instead, the thing has been an almost total loss. I think they probably made a few hundred million on combined Destiny 2 and Marathon revenue? Probably $500m or less.
>>743374226but didn't get concord cancel? it's like they wanted that game to come out
>>743374039>havens tudiosHoly fuck their website is aids to use and even load.Also they used Aislop? How a playstation studio doing AIslop not news?
>>743374039>This is going to prove to be a very smart acquisition when those 12 live service Playstation games start releasing.Is that a shitpost? It has to be.
>>743374312>Also they used Aislop? How a playstation studio doing AIslop not news?all the news outlet refuse to mention that Sony is going 1000% into AI slop
>>743374039Who was the next big dog?
>>743374312Every single studio uses it. You’d be retarded not to. It’s just a matter of if they choose to disclose it to the public.
>>743373132>microsoft pay 7 billion for zenimax and the legion of titles/devs they house>sony pay 4 billion for 1 developer that peaked a decade ago and have made like 2 games in the last 12 yearsThey definitely regret it big time. Putting all their eggs in the Marathon basket doubled down on their retardation
>>743373132>4 years>Snoys invested 4bln USD in this calamityLet that sink, Anons: to waste 1bln USD in a year, you will need to burn 2.75mln USD every single day. That 115 000 USD wasted per hour. It's like wrecking a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera 24 times per day.
>>743374172>using Xittier for anything other than following artistthat was your first mistake
>>743373132People have probably experienced less buyer’s remorse with a used car that breaks down outside the dealership. At least you might be able to fix that.
>>743374868and they took out loans to pay for it
>>743374039Snoys are deranged
>>743374674>>microsoft pay 7 billion for zenimax and the legion of titles/devs they house Oh yeah, Skyrim remastered, redfall, Indiana Jones and StarfieldGreat deal
>>743375590Don't forget Oblivion remastered
>>743373132No way they don't regret it
>>743373132Best idea for draining the money from stupid japs
>>743375590>meanwhile Bungie>Deadstiny 2 and MaraflopKEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>743373132>laughter is good for your health>I've been laughing practically nonstop since the announcement 4B circus was totally worth it
>>7433733804b in the hole so far, they are still stuck supporting a 400man sized studio (downscaled from 1,7k btw) in one of the most expensive cities in the US
>>743375997I'm sure Sony will pay anything for blasthavers to keep having with the greatest game of all time
>>743373132
>>743375590>microsoft gets elder scrolls, fallout, doom, dishonored, prey, quake and wolfenstein>sony get destiny and the developer most known for an ip they don't ownMicrosoft came out infinitely better, even if how they've handled the acquisition afterwards was dire
>>743373380so far !
>>743373132>Was it worth it?No.>Or do you think they regret it?Yes. I don't, though. The progression between runs is barebones and struggles to retain players, but the actual shooting is really good.https://litter.catbox.moe/sv9nzf17k0ntgdz3.mp4
>>743373132>Was it worth it?I got lots of laughs so yes
>>743375726It was good, though.
>>743373132Hold up. Which is worse in the past 3 years. BUNGIE or UBISOFT. Keep in mind Ubisoft lost 1.7 BILLION dollars in the last year alone.
>>743375493did they seriously thought Sony was going to buy>fromsoft>konami>capcomthat's so delusional
>>743381682Bungie lolThey just made Sony lose another $200M last week for a lawsuit
>>743381682difficult to compare because ubisoft is so much bigger, 40x bigger. if you multiplied bungie by 40 then they'd probably be losing more than 1.7b annually
Worth it. Marathon is the only good game out there.
>>743374371Probably Square Enix since back then they were going full Playstation exclusive for their AAA games.
>>743382007Another one? Not that writer guy. What did they fuck up this time?
>>743373132I fucking regret it.Bungie execs immediately started killing Destiny 2 when the ink on the deal wasn't even dry.Because that's how Americans do business. Sabotage the company they sold so they have less competition for their next company.
>>743383891They should have just concluded Destiny 2 with The Final Shape and started working on Destiny 3.
>>743373132Is Bungie the gift that keeps on giving?
>>743373132MEH, IT'S STABLE.
>>743389064>peak of 6.5k Fucking hell. I remember when the shills gave me personal assurances that it would never go beneath 10k.
>>743375590Redfall aside, literally any individual one of those is a better deal than everything you get with Bungie
>>743374039>First question: where are the snacksHer and everyone three degrees of separation from her should not be in the industry
>>743373132Why didn't they just make Destiny 3? A game everyone that actually played their game asked for?
Idk what Sony was thinking. Even as a huge D2 fan the writing was on the wall for Bungie the minute Marathon was announced.
>>743391681>Idk what Sony was thinkingSony has been DESPERATE for live service games. At one point they had like 15 of them in development at once.
>>743391632It was because it would've probably cost $500m and Sony didn't want to spend the money.
>>743391681They were thinking Bungie had the secrets of GAAS and bought what they thought was a literal golden goose. Just greed plain and simple
>>743389064It's trending to literal ZERO. I remember when the stable articles were written at like 40k
>>743391265*I remember when I talked to myself for weeks in my samefagging threadsLiteral fmaitsunigga behavior.
>>743392000There should be some kind of minor spike next week when the 100% PVE mode launches.But will it get back above 10k? I feel like it won't.
>>743391681They wanted Activision but couldn't afford them, figured a live service studio that was successful under Activision would be good enough, but failed to realize Bungie was only successful because of Activision and not in spite of them. That there was a reason the IP was sold back to Bungie and they were kicked to the curb.
>>743392102If CoD warzone against bots is a PVE gamemode then Bob's my uncle
>>743388575Bungie crawling through broken glass for months and not exploding in a Concord fireball is the best Christmas in July gift ever
>>743373132Bungie and Star Wars were worth $4 billion
>>743392231It's an>experimentBecause that's the word you use in your live service game when you're throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
>>743373380There is no such thing as the hole. The whole point of these acquisitions is to transfer that money into the pockets of executives legally. Or do you think that people who keep getting richer despite these constant acquisitions of studios before immediately closing them are regretful that they keep getting richer as they conveniently cash out on their own company's sudden increased valuation?
>>743381704Yes. This whole board was filled to the brim of that same delusion for months. Every week for 2 years after that, credible rumors definitely 100% confirmed that Sony is buying Square Enix this week.
>>743382510Still a net loss of 1.7b is completely fucking nuts. And they have multiple studios that they put a billion plus in that turned out to be objectively even worse than bungie, like Ubisoft Pune. The biggest izat scheme in all of gaming history.
>>743392079meds
>>743392102>There should be some kind of minor spike next week when the 100% PVE mode launches.Unfortunately, if it's successful at all, it means that the PVP experience will degrade at the same population level even harder.
>>743374121Unreal Champioship 2 Liara Conflict is better
>>743393871Yeah, and I wish more people understood this point. A PVE only mode is going to effectively divide the playerbase, like a multiplayer game introducing maps you can only access if you buy DLC.So both groups of players (PVP, PVE) get their own group, but now the overall matchmaking takes longer for both.
>>743374121Hot damn that's... medicore.I'm glad someone is having fun with this but I spent 30 seconds waiting for the point.
>>743374674who cares about bungie in 2026 post halo and post destinynotice how the dog is consenting with the human, brown people don't understand what that is (being human I mean).Anyways get ready for marathon and concord halo.But in reality you're all claiming sony is fucking jeetbox but in reality sony is fucking themselves. Bungie is genuinely a rotting zombie corpse of halo and destiny, there is no talent left and sony just wasted massive amounts of money on basically a name... which normies do not give a fuck about, but they can now have trailers that say "from the makers of halo and destiny" even though almost none of those makers are there and sony gutted it even harder after they gutted themselves, making everything double or triple gutless.And people who do know the name bungie will be distinctly aware of all of this and know that sony cannot produce anything with bungie.100 years of zero games forevermore.
>>743394654holy schizo babble
