DarkStar189 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I've never had a ton of interest in Destiny so the short sighted part of me is pretty meh on this news. Hope it leads to something new and exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently, the Vita straight up failed, the PS4 is old and the PS5 is underperforming. Playstation seems ripe for the picking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 7 hours ago, TwinIon said: I don't really disagree with your reasoning, but the end game should always be kept in sight. They're consolidating these content creators to get more long term investments in their platforms with the goal of increasing the revenue from those platforms. However, we're so early in this transition period that I don't think we can really predict how that revenue increase will take shape. Yeah, we all know gamepass will get more expensive, but what else? We've often seen other consolidated industries all follow each other into predatory pricing schemes. Wireless ISPs is the easiest example. While at the moment we might see Sony and Microsoft forego some of the less desirable monetization schemes, it's easy to imagine a future where they have much more control of the industry and end up both normalizing the worst possible practices across their entire portfolios. Of course, even with these recent acquisitions, it's likely that games remains far more competitive that ISPs, so hopefully the worst won't happen. I don't know if it will be good in the long term. My guess is nothing ever is. I just think that game publishers actually incentived to give us more games is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Sony getting Bungie makes a lot of sense, and I really doubt Microsoft is losing sleep. Sony desperately needed a competent FPS developer, something MS has in spades right now. I also lol'ed at the "Destiny will remain mulitplatform" news. Yeah it will. That's an optics move plain and simple. Sony keeps Destiny multiplat because I doubt it would make nearly enough money off a single console to justify its buying price. Plus MS will look like the dicks if they eventually make CoD exclusive. But Destiny and CoD aren't even kind of a 1:1 comparison. Please God, somebody buy Konami. I don't care who it is. Those IP need to be rescued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm honestly going to see this as a good thing for Destiny as now Bungie will keep their artistic freedom to create the game they want, delay anything if they need to which most likely wasn't available under Activision, but now also have a bigger financial backing which was tougher under their independence. Bungie wouldn't enter this deal lightly, and I think it'll mean more content in both quantity and quality. Still surprised it wasn't Microsoft that bought them back, especially with Phil Spencer being the Destiny fan he is, and clearly knows how to treat developers, but with Bungie wanting to do more multimedia stuff with Destiny it makes sense to go with Sony. Perhaps it's time for Microsoft to also get music, movie, and TV studios of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is my recollection. I remember people saying how Bungie, once freed from their irons, showed who was really at fault for making the games have shitty elements.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Destiny and Destiny 2 being my most played games of the last two generations (One and Series) this worries me a bit. They claim Xbox will still be supported, which could be true. But what I don’t want to see is Xbox getting excluded from some content, like strikes, maps, exotics, armor sets. Sony was fond of paying for platform exclusives while Activision was publishing, and now they just handed Bungie $3.6B. So it would t surprise me if Sony didn’t feel entitled to some more platform exclusives following Which Queen’s release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Ok @GameDadGrant Here's a fact: I have an ice cream shop and we only made enough for 100 people a day. So this morning when we opened 100 people bought ice cream. The rest of the people could not buy ice cream. However, we made a profit because we sold the ice cream we had. We are a successful business, not floundering at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the same arguments for exclusive content that work for Microsoft work for Sony. I fully expect future COD and Elder Scrolls games to be Xbox exclusive (where game pass is available ) However any ftp multiplayer stuff or Warzone, Elder Scrolls online etc... will probably be multi platform. If there is a Destiny 3 it might be multi platform - but there will be every reason for the best stuff to be PS 1st or PS only. Also if they have something else non destiny cooking - you better have a PS if you want to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungie already alienated the Destiny fan base on other platforms by making things 1 year exclusives for Playstation. Most of the Destiny players I know played on Playstation because of this. Xbox player surge didn't happen until Destiny 2 and it came to Game Pass. Destiny was pretty much a Playstation game from the get go.

Then they had to miss out on stuff and suddenly cared about platform exclusive content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungie has broken away not once, but twice from big publishers to do their own thing and bring their games to the most people. I mean if they start doing exclusive content again it's only going to be a matter of time before they break away for a 3rd time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
