I really hope this is a joke since if you actually read the press notes and the Q&A, you wouldn't be posting this.

  • Do you honestly believe one of the biggest tech companies in the world drops that amount of money just to throw money at it and not expect to be able to do what they want?

  • If the agreement for the buy out says "Bungie maintains full creative control of Destiny", then yes. It means Sony, who barely scratches the top 10 of tech companies, and that's Sony as a conglomerate, not Sony Interactive which is the sub-branch that will be working with Bungie. It's like when owners buy a baseball team, but do not have any contribution to who gets drafted, or traded. They're just there for the profits

  • So we have a tweet and a couple of press releases. We as the public don't actually know what the verbal agreement says and honestly, if everyone did what the said they would do in the games industry and nothing ever went sideways I'd probably agree with you, but that's never been how the games industry works. If it did we might not have Titanfall or COD.

  • Do you understand how Mergers & Acquisitions work? Millions of dollars are spent on lawyers to mediate negotiations on terms and conditions - these lawyers then draft up the complex paperwork that cross T's, and dot I's. Part of that agreement, as released in the presser is that Sony will not have any say on how Destiny 2 is operated. Verbal promises are one thing - what's said in public is, yes, another. But at the end of the day, we do ourselves zero favors by making presumptions

  • Honestly, in the long run if I'm wrong, bully for us all. But if I'm right I'm just one of several players who saw it coming. And I'm not saying people shouldn't be hopeful but we've been here before in one way or another, look at EA.

    Yeah, I get that, but again, the history of the games industry as a whole is littered with breaches of contract and changes to agreements with those same lawyers and legal teams present. What you're saying is that sort of thing never happens and that what we're seeing is ok to take at face value. It might not be for a few years but beyond that is anyone's guess. As those same agreements typically come with caveats about sales performance and earnings speculation. This is an investment for Sony, if it goes sideways or a way they don't like you think everyone is just going to float on?
