Obviously a response to Microsoft's acquisitions and kind of funny that this studio once by owned by MS and Acti-Blizz ends up with Sony. Sony says they'll remain a multiplatform studio, but we all know that won't last forever.

Reminder that industry consolidation is a direct and inevitable result of big tech encroachment into gaming. Capitalism bad for games.

      Destiny and any future projects Bungie makes

      Destiny pulls in good money, they'll make that money back in a year

            That and Sony has Film and TV studios

            It's no secret that Bungie's been wanting to make Destiny into a multimedia franchise, which is probably why they agreed to the deal

            Get ready to see see a lot more of it in the next few years

          There’s a reason actually buying the game is only a small amount of the marketing effort and the rest is in loot boxes and other nonsense

      A US-centric IP with enough of a player base that they can have a COD for Destiny deal with Microsoft. Given that Sony can't get away with a bigger merger than this at the moment, it's probably their best strategy.

      1.) Destiny income

      1. ) Stopping MS from buying Destiny and making them exclusive

      3.) Bungie experience with GAAS to help Sony studios new to it

        Oh God, all those wonderful single player PS4 games really were an outlier weren't they. Wonder how much my credit card will get dinged every time Kratos says "boy".

          I'd be surprised if Sony moves their traditional studios away from that. Spider-Man, The Last of Us, and God of War make sickening amounts of money.
