1 返信[quote]Is Microsoft buying Bungie?[/quote] No Would Bungie have been better off if they stayed with M$ originally instead of "claiming their Independence"? Probably.

8 通の返信We should all know by now that Microsoft is going for Sony's throat this generation, which is both good and bad. It doesn't really matter to me either way. As long as Microsoft keeps up their PC support, I'm good.

Answer: No. Pete Parsons---CEO of Bungie---flatly denied those rumors. As a company that issues stock to investors, there could be serious legal problems for Parson's if he were to be caught publicly lying about something like that. The reality is probably that Bungie and MS are working closely together in partnership on something that hasn't been announced yet. It would make ZERO business sense for Bungie to have taken the risks that they did, and fought as hard as they did get get away from both MS AND Activision....only to sell away their hard-won freedom BACK to MS.

1 返信It was a rumor, okay? It wouldn't even be a good thing, as Microsoft would probably get rid of the PS version. Not good.

Bungie isn’t in full control of their own company. Bungie bought back publishing rights for Destiny from Activision for $164 million. $100 million of that came from Chinese owned NetEase who now sits on sits on Bungie’s board of directors.

Its just a rumor at this point but considering that they got on gamepass with all dlc it does have a leg to stand on. If it ever does come through I really hope they don't screw over Playstation players with crazy timed exclusives like they did Xbox.

1 返信Given Bungie's history, and them really not appreciating publishers in general, I doubt it. It'd probably be a pretty nice thing, but I doubt Microsoft can convince Bungie to go back into their folds, especially since that gives likelihood to Destiny being taken off of PlayStation; their biggest platform, IIRC.

1 返信I think someone at Microsoft spread the "buying bungie" rumour as a distraction to stop anyone finding out about them buying Bethesda too early. It might be a total tinfoil hat type thing but just think you don't expect someone rumoured to say that buying Bungie is "too expensive" to then go out and spend 7.5bn on a much bigger studio. Also it'd be unnecessary for Microsoft to buy them considering they already have that game pass deal
