Nope, goal post will be moved.
It is now devs vs publishers aquisitions. With devs being ok to buy and publishers being bad.
But it will move again soon as Sony said they weren't done..
Ur comment is so silly 😂
that sounds like MS did the better thing lol. Why buy the chickens when you can own the farm 😌.
But it's besides the point, the narrative was Sony only buys devs they nurtured and we're mostly PS associated.
Bungie does not fall in any of those categories. In fact they had more history with MS and we're multiplatform.
Personally I think it was a good buy but not as impactful ...
Hopefully Sony can clean this up...
As previously reported, Bungie has struggled with a toxic work culture, including sexism, crunch, and HR protection of abusers. After news broke that Sony would be purchasing Bungie, both SIE president Jim Ryan and Parsons spoke with GamesIndustry.biz about concerns.

Such a surprise you think this is a good buy 🤣..
I am interested in seeing what Bungie has up it's sleeves..but let's be honest, this is peanuts compared to MS recent acquisition
I guess buying dev or pubs ain't that bad all of a sudden.
I agree. While it's big news..it's baby stuff to what MS have aquired so far.
Sony did say they have more aquisition on the way tho.
Big news!!
This is getting interesting for certain.
And finally we can stop hearing that "Sony cultivates studios and don't buy multiplatform devs" lol
They will make him fight mostly robots.
@ Spence
You miss the point entirely, while also joining in with salt for no apparent reason.
This game looks excellent, we are happy it looks excellent, we want to play it, its on PS4 and PS5 and the new trailer looks fantastic, my PS5 is ready! Do you see the theme? this has nothing to do with MS, Xbox, Activision Blizzard, why bring them up..lets talk about Horizon: FW..as Oeazy mentioned, you giving them space in your head, no other conclusion but sal...
Great trailer and I will be buying this.
Why the salt bro? One thing has nothing to do with the other. Let's celebrate how good this looks.
Deflecting? huh? more like pointing out hypocrisy.
"So IGN produced a shill article to put the pro Xbox spin on this acquisition? I'm shocked. /s"
This very thread is an article saying the acquisition was bad. The IGN article is stating the acquisition was a positive for MS, yet you criticized IGN's article as a shill spin article, why doesn't this article qualify as a shill, spin article?
"The criticism made ...
Oh, but this article is fine and not a spin, it's legit right? Opposite opinion with basis is nonsense because you say so. Think about it..this article is no different.
It's only unpopular to people like you, thankfully you only speak for such a small number of gamers.
And no, no one was pushing DMR agenda, MS was criticized hard by fans and non-fans alike and they had to course correct.
There is a really good Article on Ign that talks about the acquisition that I agree with.
The old way of console is coming to a close. Its will be about content just like almost every other industry. It's about integration into things like T.V, phones, computers or any device that can play games, just like Netflix, Disney and HBO Max. The old model of having to own one box to play a game is soon going to be a thing of the past, Sony will follow suit, weather its bring a...
They play all the same games..there is not one game on the SX that cant be played on the SS, it uses the same controller, same dashboard, same accessories..it is a different model of the Xbox 'Series'
That's like saying the PS4 pro is not a PS4..they combine the sales of the systems.
So if you went to buy a SX and they didnt have any, would you buy an SS? ...if yes tell me why please.
All this nonsense about people only buying SS because they are available is ridiculous..they buy it cause they wanna play the games on it.
The Wii U , was available, the Xbox one was available, but no one cared. If something sucked or had no intrest it wouldn't sell well. People are buying SX and SS because GP is a great prospect and the games are there, not simply becuz the system is available.
What a spin.
LOL, atm you should be happy you have GP and will be able to play all these games.
Don't fear the imaginary.
No one announced a price hike.
This is far from signaling a Monopoly, lol.
But I will play the 'what if' game.
What if, lets say Sony and all its studios somehow get acquired by MS and has FULL creative freedom to do and make whatever games they want, and still produce some stellar games, what if prices don't change and game prices are actually back to $60 down from Sony's $70, would this hypothetical situation it be as detrimental as you think?
Mag,
You know the old saying "Cant beat em' then buy em' "
Or something like that. HAHAHA
Green, I agree.
I don't see COD becoming exclusive..would not make sense for warzone. Exclusive content I can see happening, like a Halo warzone crossover or cosmetics.
Outside,
I can tell you, I am a gamer and and a consumer just like you are, for me and you we can get play a lot of high end and indie games for a low sub price, its money saving. MS is also releasing all these games on PC, so you can own an Xbox or a decent PC, and even an android phone and enjoy a lot of what they are offering. If you are a collector you can still pay for the games physical or digital.
So the maine take away is you still have many optio...
😂😂😂.. your comment is so silly.
Tell you what, if Hallmark prints more money than box office I'll rather be Hallmark lol.
Besides, you analogy is off..Xbox is more like Disney, buying up all the Major studios to own the most popular names in the industry.
And Sony is like...Sony owning good movies and the rights to single properties that Disney borrows (Aka..spiderman).
