PlayStation Hits BACK!!!! | Sony Buys Bungie for $3.6 BILLION

So it looks like PlayStation is firing BACK at Xbox after their purchase of Activision Blizzard, as Sony acquires Bungie, the company that developed the original Halo games and now owns/develops Destiny. This was a company originally owned by Microsoft too! When will the acquisitions end? Let's discuss! Thanks for the love. 🙏🏾

Who is going to be bought next in this acquisition war??? Nobody knows!

seeing all these billions being spent and how it changed the gaming market is crazy

Sony and Microsoft still throwing hands like it’s the 2000s. Meanwhile Nintendo’s IPs are just watching with a bucket of popcorn with Goku and Rabbid Rosalina.

Sega is somewhere in between, watching blue ball getting dunked by red ball.

I don't really have anything to say about this, but I came kind of early this time so I'm just making a comment to help the channel with the algorithm.

It's worth noting that this is really just kind of a coincidence. I mean it makes for great drama but acquisitions take months, even years. So sadly this wasn't done in retaliation

[viomusardathefluffysealgas]

I think Sony deciding to maintain Bungie multiplatform was I think to say "we will not be like Microsoft, we are better than that"

[fbafroguy]

Imagine if bungie didn’t sell halo it would be a PlayStation exclusive

I wouldn't say it's a response to Microsoft, because planning a acquisition takes like 5-6 months.

CONSOLE WARS the PlayStation strikes back 😂

This was the most direct clapbacks beteeen these two since the start of 8th Gen lol. Next few years are going to be a wild trip.

[sekiko]

PlayStation can have Bungie. They're not the same company as they were back then.

[murr]

This is the dumbest move in gaming history.

[MarcusSmithPlushTube]

Imagine Nintendo buying Sega. (If so, then no more next-gen games. Lmao)

[blitzblix]

i dont think they bought it just to clap back at microsoft since these deals take a lot of time

[yibby]

this industry is gonna be a monopoly in a few years at this rate. sad.

[MSMPersonal]

The thumbnail is pretty misleading. Sony bought Destiny 2, not Halo.

[Nonehasthisnamekek]

Its not a battle between xbox and sony, its about FB metaverse/apple/amazon not going apeshit grabbing everything. Do we rly want that? no ty. Btw this deal is not even close to the microsoft deal, but good at least sony is doing what they can to protect gaming.

[dyllanweich]

So, im gonna be clear here, Sony doesn't get Halo because its owned strictly by MS and 343i (Former Bungie Devs who jumped ship when Bungie split to go elsewhere), Destiny 2 is fun or was fun, and as a player its becoming less and less fun to play, so, to me i hope Sony can fix it. So to alot of players this isn't even a loss considering people are hyping this like Bungie is the same as it was during Halo (Which it isnt), none of the original developers and leaders are at Bungie but at 343i and EA and Bungie is now a shell of what it was and just new people for the most part.

In terms of these dumb plastic box wars, there isnt a point to it and i dont know why people think its still down to "Console Wars" view of things, its a very small mindset at this point, whats going on isnt a war between Sony/MS, but rather a war against the future like Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook/Meta.

[cubexp.]

You know they don’t get halo right bungie is bad now anyways after activsion

[zoneAZS]
