Good timing lmao.

no refunds

 

[Wooxsvan]

lol oh man, chef's kiss at the timing on this

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It finalized now???

I thought Sony bought them in early 2022 and it closed just a few months later.

 

[R6Rider]

I can't wait for the next Halo on PS5.

 

[Saber]

Just in time for the lay outs

 

[Interfectum]

For $3.7 billion they couldve made 18 Horizon FW and TLOU2 caliber games, and still have a $100 million left for hookers and cocaine.

But hey I am sure Bungie making Destiny 2 DLC for every console is a good investment for Playstation.

 

[Vlodril]

Any idea why i see blank on the embedded tweets now instead of the actual tweet?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This tweet means that SIE just finished paying off all the installments for the Bungie acquisition which is good news since next quarter their profit will skyrocket.

Annual revenue for Bungie last year was almost $500m.

That's been happening to me too the last few days. I'm using Firefox too.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Bungie mgmt doing people dirty right before pay day.

 

[SJRB]

NO TAKE BACKSIES!!

Same also on firefox. I guess might be an update broke them.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Huh....thought this happened forever ago.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I think the ads here are mocking the situation.

Do you (or anyone else) know what profits they got last year?

 

[Punished Miku]

Do you (or anyone else) know what profits they got last year?

SlimySnake throws around numbers sometimes. Ask that guy.

 

[LordCBH]

I thought they completed this like 7 months ago

 

[Thirty7ven]

Do you (or anyone else) know what profits they got last year?

Do you care about profits when talking about Xbox?

At 500 million last year that amounts to 7.1 million copies of a full priced game. Would you be asking how much was the budget for that game?

 

[Three]

The acquisition closed but payments completed recently.

 

[StueyDuck]

Yay for consolidation.

/s

Even if bungie was in the toilet, consolidation isn't the victory its being touted as.

 

[gow3isben]

So after Activision instead of Capcom or Square Sony just re-bought its own studio it bought like a year ago?

That had to pay in installments? How broke are Sony

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

yes. Bungie is that valuable. In fact, is greater than 70B in value.

 

[Sanepar]

What a waste of money. One of the worst aquisitions ever.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Actually I dont. But considering how many Sony fans bring up profits of Activision of $2B vs a buyout price of $70B, I'd like to know the same metrics for Bungie.

It's more about buying them so MS didn't inevitably do it.

 

[Draugoth]

Im petty sure the deal was closed back in 2022

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[Warnen]

 

[nowhat]

no refunds

Maybe Sony didn't tick the box that their credit card will be immediately charged?

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Seems the deal couldn't be finalized until Bungie trimmed the fat...

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Surprised the cheque didn't bounce back.

 

[Robb]

Surprised to hear it just finalized, thought that was the case months ago.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Good timing lmao.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Edit: bad math scratch

 

[M1chl]

Feels like a waste of money, if they don't have some another hit in the making. Destiny was fun for 1 hour and that was it

 

[BbMajor7th]

 

[FalsettoVibe]

I have a feeling this thread will be an interesting read one day.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Put them to work on some CoD killer.

Of course not. Expert financial analysts have no idea what they are doing.

 

[SplunkyMunkey]

They could of got multiple studios and ips off embracer for that price

 

[SlimySnake]

Of course not. Expert financial analysts have no idea what they are doing.

yep. we all know the experts at embracer know exactly what they were doing when they acquired all the studios under the sun and ended up closing half of them.
