Sony has generally kept its games to itself. Only over the past year has PlayStation opened up its platform to allow for crossplay (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:provided🌌 the publisher is willing to pay for it), and while Sony is slowly making its exclusive games available on PC, it’s still not committing to releasing new tit🌺les on Steam saꦰme-day.
But with Sony’s recent purchase of Destiny 2 maker Bung♕ie, that all might change--at least a bit. In a corp𝔉orate strategy meeting Wednesday (via ), Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said Bungie could p👍ush PlayStation towards a multiplatform future.
"We believe it will be a catalyst to enhance our live game services capabilities," he said. &qu𝓰ot;Our acquisition of Bungie also represents a major step forward in becoming more multiplatfor♔m."
Bungie has already made it clear that the terms of its purchase agreement gives the Destiny 2 developer an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:exceptional amount of autonomy. Destiny 2 will remain on every platform it’s currently available, and Bungie even retains the rights to publish its upcoming games on whatever platform it wants, although one could well assume tha🍷t any future game will at least release on PlayStation.
Reports have indicated that Sony's purchase of Bungie is more about bringing Destiny to other media than keeping Bungie's game on PlayStation. Following the purchase announcement, Sony financial director Hiroki Totoki told investors that "Bungie wants to nurture the IP they have in a mu♚ltidimensional manner," something that Sony Pictures and Sony Music could help with. Bungie has also been hiring people with TV and film experience, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:including a former Riot a🧸nimation director.
Sony waded into abortion controversy in the United States following the Supreme Court leak that threatened to strike down women's rights to choose. While Bu🃏ngie offered support for women on abortion rights, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan reportedly told staff to "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:respect differences of opinion," even going so far as sending a memo to Sony studios saying the company wouldn't approve statements in support of Roe v. Wade.
