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

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
