EXCLUSIVES TO SONY, BUT HERES THE REAL QUESTION.

WHY? GOOD QUESTION. Obviously a contract was made between Sony and Bungie to guarantee exclusives for playstation, BUT. The question is, WHY. Clearly, Sony paid some cash for that, in hopes it would sway a many a folk to buy a playstation, to have the "superior" destiny console. What I don't understand is that, WHY, did Microsoft not make this deal. Now let's get something straight, Microsoft is SO F*CKING RICH, the second wealthiest company in the world (behind apple), Bill Gates who helped to found it, is so f*cking rich, he alone could buy out sony, bend it over a barrel and ride that f*cker into the ground, and he would still be one of the richest men in the world, no sweat. SO, Just imagine how much cash the entire company has. It seems Microsoft could have easily made that contract right? But there's more to it, now I'm not sure about what happened exactly. No one knows if Microsoft just didn't see the opportunity as feasible or outright decided, F*ck you Bungie, for even considering another console as your exclusive outlet. And the latter makes more sense to me, because listen up. Obviously Halo was an outstanding franchise that "defined a generation" and popularized first person shooters, made them mainstream. But did you ever think to realize who made Bungie!!!?, F*cking MICROSOFT MADE BUNGIE WHO THEY ARE TODAY, without Microsoft taking a leap, signing Bungie in to the squad and taking them under their wing, guiding them to greatness, you likely wouldn't know what the f*ck I was talking about when I said Bungie, you'd probably think I was some weird assmotherf*cker talking about trampolines or some sh*t. Bungie owes EVERYTHING to Microsoft. So it begs the question, WHY, WHY did Bungie choose Sony over Microsoft, over the company that nurtured and cared for their frightened newborn baby of a company in Bungie? I DONT KNOW. But it pisses me the f*ck off and poses as a monumental curiosity in my eyes! Thank you for your time. #nintendo?¿(•.•)¿?

    I've been saying this for a while. [b]Do not blame bungie or the players.[/b] Bungie/activision made a good business decision and took a good offer. Microsoft has much more money than sony and could've easily countered Sony offer if they wanted to and chose not to(usually they do pay for exclusive content). They must've thought this game was not worth it. Complain to microsoft.

  • Yeah no... Microsoft and Apple aren't even in the top 8 wealthiest companies in the world. 1) Foxconn 2) Walmart 3) G4S 4) Aramark 5) Hilton 6) Enterprise 7) McDonalds 8) Dell

    • Cuz Microsoft are tight MoFos and dont wanna spend money. Thats why the produced an underpowered next gen console, so they can save money. Thats why windows 8 sucked so much, to save money.

      • Destiny was going to be an Xbox only exclusive for the first 2 years. (mentioned in 2010 & 2012) Then Bungie teamed up with Activision. Activision and Microsoft has a long history of bad blood. Activision is buddy buddy with Sony. There it is.

        • If you're going to complain do it clearly and like an adult. After about 5 lines I couldn't be bothered. Anyways, the exclusivity deal sucks. Essentially xbox users don't have to deal with two crap strikes and aren't exactly missing out since Monte Carlo and the 4th horseman suck. I'll admit though that they are missing out on arguably the best exotic in the game, hawkmoon.

        • Honestly, the additional playstation content was more than likely made after the rest of the game specifically for that contract.

        • People bought Xbox's to play Halo. It was a system seller. Bungie made xbox, not the other way around.

          • I personal do not like exclusivity when it comes to multi platform games but I understand why it is necessary. I just think this time was one of the worst times. Correct me if I'm wrong but has there ever been a case where a dlc comes out at the same time and you have to wait a year to get the rest of the content? From my understanding of cod Playstation just had to wait a month and they would get the full dlc. Why couldn't they do that?

            In business there is no loyalty. It's like an NFL player being signed to a team and being popular because of that teams success. In the end, if he gets a better contract offer, he might leave. Or when he hits a certain age and his skills aren't what they were, the team dumps him. IT'S BUSINESS!!!

            Titanfall is WHY. Titanfall was made by Respawn Entertainment. Respawn Entertainment is made up of 98% former Infinity Ward/Activision employees. Titanfall is also published by EA, which is Activision's biggest rival. I think this deal came about right after Titanfall released in March.

              • Ugh, this again. More like Microsoft owes Bunjie. The original Xbox was carried by Halo CE and Halo 2. Sure, they had other great exclusives but people wanted Halo. It's really irrelevant that Bunjie grew up on Xbox anyway. Companies go where the money is. You should just buy a PS4 or stop whining. Xbox has exclusive stuff as well, it just so happens that Ps4 has the winning hand in this situation.

              • The answer is because it 100% doesn't matter. I play xbox, and I've been playing deatiny since beta. I love this game and play it everyday. And ur looking at it all wrong u pessimist. Number 1. why the -blam!- is 2 strikes and 3 guns worth ur butthurt? It's a game, grow the -blam!- up. 2. it in no way hinders ur vanilla gameplay at all. You know why? Cuz on our system, it doesn't exist. 3. we get it in 9 months. Which mean while playstatuon is bored of their version of the game cuz they've been been grinding the same strikes all summer, they still have to when we get free dlc since it wasn't available previously. 4. And most importantly... Ur 3 years old and just want it cuz someone else has it.

                It was a deal with Activision, same as the CoD exclusives. Microsoft's big money makers are CoD & Halo along with a long list of other exclusive games (most only available to Xbox consumers). They would rather direct their money towards something they knew would return the profit vs something new that could be great but could just as likely fail. Thats how they look at it. Microsoft actually has bungie stocks and has a great relationship with the company. All we can do is hope that we get the exclusives next time around and if we don't, it's not a big deal. I mean, when/if this "Comet" expansion releases, we get 7 new strikes vs just the 4 that PS will get. Yes it's because they already have it but in terms of content, it will sure feel like we are getting a lot more which I'm glad for. Edit: look at it this way, Sony paid for more content to be developed for destiny along with exclusive marketing rights. What does that mean for us? They paid for us to get more stuff, we just don't get it for a year

              • Long story short, Bungie wanted to expand Halo to all consoles but MS said no. They had a contract with MS to make a few games, thus why they rushed some Halo games to get out the contract. So it's more like "You wouldn't let us expand ? Then we shall give PS a 1 year exclusive "

                • I'm not buying Destiny 2 if it isn't truly next gen only. If it's out on 360 and ps3 they can KMA.

                  • I haven't done any research into the topic but I did hear from some random that was talking to me where I work. Apparently, there was a hostile takeover of Halo by Microsoft and Bungie was booted. He explained because of the hostile takeover Bungie opted to give Sony all the exclusives over Microsoft as a big flying blam you.
