This week, Sony got into the acquisition game by purchasing Destiny 2 developer Bungie for $3.6 billion. Did they 'vastly overpay' as some are saying?
On top of that, this move feels very forward thinking for a Sony who has started to come around to an uncomfortable idea of the future that cannot just involve them selling very highly praised single player action games for a line of physical boxes. This generation in particular, Sony has realized how literally they are being limited by their own consoles, as they cannot make anywhere close to enough of them to meet demand.
You cannot view Sony as simply having bought Bungie and the Destiny IP and whatever future games they’ve made. They have bought one of the most talented live service studios in the industry, where they have said explicitly they will be relying on Bungie to help train their other studios in how to succeed in that space.
