Did Sony Waste $3.6 Billion on Bungie?

Did Sony waste $3.6 billion on Bungie? Let’s break it down.
Three years ago, Sony bought Bungie for $3.6 billion-but was it really for Destiny? Or was it about getting live service expertise for their future projects? Now that time has passed, we can analyze whether this was a smart move or a costly mistake.

💥 Sony’s live service failures:
❌ The Last of Us Online II - Canceled before release
❌ Concord - Released, flopped, and disappeared
❌ Live service God of War by Bluepoint - Canceled
❌ Ben Studios’ live service project - Also scrapped
Meanwhile, the Four Horsemen of Live Service (Fortnite, Minecraft, GTA, and Roblox) continue to dominate, making Sony’s approach seem even riskier. Was this a failed strategy, or did Bungie actually help Sony avoid bigger losses? 🤔
Let’s discuss: Should Sony stop making live service games, or do they just need a better plan? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 👇

I never thought I would see the day that Bungie became one of the biggest dumpster fire gaming companies there is. The pay to win, money grab pile of garbage they turned Destiny into is shocking. I would never even consider buying anything made by Bungie again.

Sony got screwed in that deal...

there has to be more to this because even 1 Billion is a ton

Sony buying Bungie was like buying a Superbowl ticket with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter

[@KradMosh]

yea that's why I don't see this acquisition as way to buy Destiney 2 for profit, I see it more as a way to purchase the people who made Destiny and use their experience/knowledge
