But it's not to be exclusive..  Bungie maintains almost all of it's independence.  I think this is much more about Sony helping Bungie develop other other media for Destiny (TV, Movies, Books, etc)while Bungie helps Sony develop more than "walking simulators" (ok, I thought that was funny, but those PS only single player games like Last of Us, God of War, Horizion Zero Dawn are great!) in their eco system.

Some folks think that this is part of the larger "reset" of the publishing system where Sony and MS buy a bunch of stuff, folks leave and start new studios and develop new ideas.  I'd like that for sure.

Looking at the various reports and press releases, it seems like Sony is going to play ball with being multi platform.  It's kind of what I think Xbox will do with the Activision catalogue.  Keep them multiplatform, and collect your 30% on each sale.  At the end of the day, both MS and Sony want to sell software and collect their piece of the pie.  Game Pass is still a great value, and I think those subscription models are going to be key moving forward.

The issue for Sony is that they are just a MUCH smaller company than MS and don't have near enough cash to spend like Windows-Daddy can provide for MS.  I'm not sure how their service will compare.  But if there's a PC plan for it....oh boy I might have to think really hard about it so I can go back and play all of those fantastic games...

You still playing Destiny 2 D-Dave?

I've recently gotten back into it hard. 

Yep, been playing regularly...forever??

I've been usually doing my weekly bounties for a few of the main NPCs to gather Bright Dust.  I dabble in the new dungeon, Grasp of Avarice, which is really fun.  A dude in my clan and I went through with very limited understanding of wtf to do.  We made it to the boss room, but I had MASSIVE wife agro for spending four-ish hours bumbling around in there.  It's easy with three and someone with some knowledge, but for two morons, it was a lot of work.

God knows how folks solo flawless it...Way better than me!

      PLAYOFFS?! Ya kiddin' me? PLAYOFFS???

      By strato · Posted

      Hey if they could beat Seattle… tiebreaker head to head over GB, LARms, Seattle… win out the record is 11-6.  Now rap my knuckles for suggesting we win out, but that would be some funny poo. Talk about sneaking up on people.

      I expected 6 wins this season. I need to see the Panthers blow by that now that they exceeded it by 1. I like how Canales has schemed around the weaknesses on offense in the passing game. I am impressed with the receivers, run blocking, running back combo and secondary communication in zone. Defense and QB need more consistency. The improvement of the defensive play calling and critical 3rd down and 4Q passing when trailing is going to be what I am looking for going into the playoffs. If the Panthers can consistently regain the lead after trailing over the next 4 games, I can see them competing in the playoffs and worth a reevaluation of the last 2 seasons' weaknesses. This is the prove it or lose it moment in their Panthers careers for Young and Evero. No excuses.

      He's on the smaller size for a center (5'8" 175lbs) and he is a bit of a liability in the faceoff circle. But, he's a proven 60 pt player with room to grow. I'd still rather go get TT from Buffalo. Rossi would be a great consolation prize, though.
