Its not a bad thing to be honest.

Microsoft spent 60+ Billion while Sony only spent 6 Billion. Bungie was always open to the idea of a buyout. It's amazing they have lasted this long as a standalone company.

I don't expect much to change on that front.

Yeah hopefully they can fix the toxic activision culture. Bungie, I feel can't make up its mind, it wanted freedom from Microsoft after Halo then went to Activision and now to Sony. E
