feels cool
You've cursed it! Nintendo will panic buy Sega and all their independent studios and announce the formation of Nintendo Worldwide Studios tomorrow and put out a bland graphic with a bunch of studio logos on it.Honestly I don't like praising companies or anything, but shoutout to Nintendo (specifically the leadership) for choosing to grow the company organically and build new teams from within, rather than just gobble up everything else.
Next Level is an outlier, but that was a long-standing partner who was going to put itself on the market one way or the other.
I mean yeah. Apparently Sony saying Bungie will remain multi-platform for now? Like, what's the point? For a little over twice that Microsoft bought a bunch of studios and different IP in the form of ZeniMax Media. What's Sony's angle here?Slightly colder than room temperature take:
Bungie is not worth $3.6B.
For Sony's sake I really hope they get the rights to some very interesting cutting edge in-house tech from Bungie because that is a lot of money for a studio like that...Slightly colder than room temperature take:
Bungie is not worth $3.6B.
is this you claiming ST6?Holy fuck when I take on ST duties I gotta step my game up
Zhuge seems to think it's Sony wanting to build up their F2P/GaaS catalog which has been an increasingly major part of their revenue stream but I'm not sure how buying Bungie and keeping them multiplatform will accomplish this in any way.I mean yeah.

It's definitely not. Sony probably had to significantly out-bid MicrosoftSlightly colder than room temperature take:

Yeah, that sum of many is just too much for a company that bleeds money from every branch except Playstation. This is one studio and one IP.Slightly colder than room temperature take:

Maybe closer to ST8, still working on my mental health a lilis this you claiming ST6?
That's a good point, I didn't consider that angle.It's definitely not. Sony probably had to significantly out-bid Microsoft

I'm all for small studios getting funded handsomely but I'm against the stupid idea to acquiring studios just to have more exclusives on the platform. If what you create is not enough for you in the console race, you shouldn't be in console race anyway. They need to start founding studios from scratch.acquisitions are fucking stupid and this model of video game studio consolidation will do nothing positive
This sounds like Sony wants to basically start following in Microsoft's footsteps and not limit their audience to people who buy Playstation products.
Again not exactly sure how Bungie helps with this.
You can RIP now. January
