Sony was duped
They're looking at the success of poe2 and Marvel rivals and they're most likely wondering why they spent 3.6 Billion dollars to acquire a dying game. Those games have a concurrent playerbase of 300-400k players every single day on steam while destiny barely makes it to 15-20k players. The Sony executives probably punch the air every time they have to visit Bungie headquarters. Should've looked at why Microsoft didn't want to buy Bungie and they would've been able to give us Bloodborne 2 if they choose not to make such a bad purchase.

1 commentaireDude Sony dupes Sony

Pretty sure bloodborne 2 has all but been confirmed to never be happening. It's also laughable funny that you compare 2 games that haven't been out for a year to a game that's been out for 7 and think that a 7 year old game needs to have the same player count as new games that people are going to try. Well, the smart ones that understand you don't have to play only 1 game forever.

9 commentairesThey were duped by bad game developers telling them unappealing games like Concord would sell They should look at how Korean and Chinese developers are rolling in money right now, simply by designing games for the majority of the consumer base, taking advantage of western companies no longer doing that Plus that 3.6 billion in sunken cost will make them less likely to outright pull the plug on the franchise, it's in there best interest to make Bungie profitable again

Tell Sony to make a Destiny 3 but make it more like Destiny 1 or Space Marine
-
I get what you're saying but you can't compare Microsoft Bungie to Sony Bungie. All the talent that made Halo great left in the D1 days.

They didn't buy bungie for destiny. They bought Bungie for their expertise in live service products. I know we hate destiny and bungie, but they made 2 live service games one with several years of consistent substantial content drops that's only now having a significant player count issue. Like it or not but that's exceptional in the live service space

4 commentairesEh, the engine alone is worth a lot of money. They can farm it out and let internal or partnered studios work with it. Even if Bungie is closed, another studio can pick up Destiny and keep working it. They can make their money back and then some. Bungie staying alive is irrelevant to Sony.

1 commentaireIt's only a bad purchase if they continue to sit back and expect the problem to resolve itself with a fraction of the required staff. If Sony want this to turn around they need to take charge of the job, listen to actual players and give it the necessary manpower and resources. Imagine how much improved this game would be if they had given this the Concord money instead. And, I say this as a PS4 user, they need to stop catering to last gen tech if they want this game to be all it can be and thrive.

4 commentaireslol why does anyone care what Sony thinks about their acquisitions? Steam has D2 as their best selling game in 2024. So I’d say Sony isn’t feeling bad about purchasing Bungie but instead is cleaning house so they maximize profits. The burn rate is being addressed.

1 commentaireMore accurately Sony bought into the idea they would be able to print money off Eververse whales, and utilize Bungie’s “expertise” to milk an even wider audience by shoehorning the Bungie magic train station to other live service games. While they got the shaft in the live service stuff Sony got the Tiger engine, the gameplay feel of D2, devs who want to do more than build gambling addiction into a looter shooter, and a fan base that wants more but is denied content in place of grind. Sony doesn’t have to fix Bungie, just let them bury themselves in a mountain of layoffs and mismanaged game resources and pick up the pieces at the end and go from there.
-
I'm guessing Bungie heavily fudged the numbers given to them prior to sale.
-
They got more money than Netflix 😂 Tell me they didn't win the lotto.
-
Sony bought the rights to Bungies manipulation system

1 commentaireYep, $3,600,000,000 💵 For magic beans. That turned out to be normal beans. Normal beans that won’t grow.

[quote]They're looking at the success of poe2 and Marvel rivals and they're most likely wondering why they spent 3.6 Billion dollars to acquire a dying game.[/quote] Why would they wonder that when they didn't spend that money to acquire the game?
-
1 commentaireInstead of making an acquisition, they should have made an investment with a certain level of quality control and direction to further monetize said investment. Instead they made a very poor business decision that would make any other company in the future whom they may want to deal with think twice due to such poor judgment in said acquisition. Because ain't no way 3.6 billion is a refection of this now dogblam title.
