Probably because Sony needs a FPS franchise. I feel like Bungie isn't that big of a get, at least compared to Activision.

I'm sure there's a legitimate business reason for them to pick this company, but it feels more motivated by spite than anything else given that all Bungie really has right now is destiny. You would think Sony would be much more interested in securing their major franchises by buying somebody like FROM software.

Why


because typically, and this is a bit of an unexplained phenomenon, consolidation begets consolidation. Corporate M&A deals often come in bunches, or waves, based on various factors such as economic climate, industry climate, interest rates, and the good ole fashioned FOMO hype train.

The project began in July 1984 as the flagship project of the 400-person Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), a research consortium started by two dozen large United States based corporations "to counter a then ominous Japanese effort in AI, the so-called "fifth-generation" project."[4] The US Government reacted to the Fifth Generation threat by passing the National Cooperative Research Act of 1984, which for the first time allowed US companies to "collude" on long-term high-risk high-payoff research, and MCC and Sematech sprang up to take advantage of that ten-year opportunity. MCC's first President and CEO was Bobby Ray Inman, former NSA Director and Central Intelligence Agency deputy director.

Sony has said Bungie will remain a multiplatform studio, with the option "to self-publish and reach players wherever they choose to play."
How embarrassing. Seems like a waste of money.

You won't need to, how they described it, you will just log onto your warframe account, and no matter the platform, your account will be synced with items and progress.

Not sure how that's going to work for people who have multiple accounts.

If Sony is trying to create a new IP to compete with Halo, this might be more about acquiring developer expertise and less acquiring existing IPs.

It's been a decade since Insomniac actually released a FPS, IIRC. They might not have the developers anymore for that kind of project.

Sony took the exact opposite approach of Microsoft when it comes to owning developers. Fewer studios, but higher quality titles. I'm not even quite sure which is better, because Microsoft has had some pretty good releases lately.

Sony is like a tenth the size of Microsoft, so it makes sense. Sony itself is only worth like twice the amount of the Activision deal, so they have to be a lot more precise with their purchases. They literally can't afford to buy big publishers.

Bungie bought themselves out of ActiBlizz a while ago, so they were an independent company until today.
