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!

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I would say the extremes from both camps in these conversations have to do with the blurring of the fact Bryce is a first overall pick and the expectations for that draft slot fair or not far exceed just being a top 20-25 starter amongst your peers. Regardless. All logical Panthers fans want him to be the answer.

      The offseason is always when hope springs eternal. If you look past that, you can see a very bad roster with a lot more questions than definitive answers. Let's hope we get a lot of those right, because I think we are a lot closer to another impatient Tepper reset than we probably think.

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
