"When Destiny released there were a lot of mixed reactions. Some people choose to harp on the lack of content, apparent problems or Destiny simply being different than what they expected, where as others focused on the gunplay or were at least optimistic of the future. With the raid releasing in a week, two events on the horizon, another multiplayer mode and so much to see, it was hard to blame these people, though sadly things didn’t work out. The raid quickly became mundane, both events flopped, the multiplayer mode was underwhelming and now nothing is on the horizon." - JPS

Phil Spencer talks candidly about missing out on both Destiny and Guitar Hero

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.
Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.
"Clearly your parents didn't teach you"
You know you lost, when you have to resort to this tactic.
So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses
Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.
That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page
Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.
Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.
MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.
@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.
you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.
so lets not kid ourselves.
@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit
That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?
Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!
Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.
Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that
Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!
another Interview?
how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol
Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.
However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.
How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.
"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"
Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.
Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.
That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.
You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.
I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.
Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
Really? if it is, they are minor. I hardly have issues when in VOG or anytime during PVE or PVP.
AH i see now "The raid quickly became mundane, both events flopped, the multiplayer mode was underwhelming and now nothing is on the horizon."
The guy doesn't like the game.
"Filled with Problems" apparently means "I'm upset that I can't glitch to win anymore".
They should hold the Iron Banner tournament once a month but they dont.
I think they hold Iron banner tournaments privately. Last Monday I played in the Iron Banner tournament a couple times. Once I left and came back it was gone. Wierd.
Even though I am an admitted fanboy of Destiny, this game is getting boring now. They drag everything in this game. For instance, they could do so much more with the Cryptarch guy but it is practically useless now. Why even level up with him if it brings you nothing?
Why nerf the weapons that are so hard to get, say like the Mythoclast? I had no problem with peeps having this who actually beat VOG on hard. I dont want to play the OBAMA Version of destiny where everyone is equal because people cry about it. I want a game where you win because you work hard to get superior weapons and armors and are just generally the better player. I never seen a game that gets the superior players NERFED SO BADLY.
The pvp is so boring. We dont need more areas. We need something a little different. How about an escort type pvp game? No capture the flag? How about an ADVANCE type game like the BF series where we can move forward, take objectives until they run out, or defend them until their lives run out?
How about a RAID where you kill thousands of monsters in an area where they MAD RUSH YOU up until a huge boss fight?
How come we dont have full chat in all the Crucible matches AND STRIKE missions?
Why only 3 character slots?
Why keep the strikes at level 24? Why not open them up to at least level 28?
Why not offer something substantially more for doing level 28 story missions?
I will tell you why. They will string all these easy things along for as long as they can to make us BUY these very simple things.
IF this keeps up I will NEVER buy a Bungie made product again. That OR Activision.
End of line.
This is the best game I have played in years,the raid is amazing.
Glitches are in every game. Some result in players using certain glitches to gain an unfair advantage like the "sniper quick scope" glitch in COD. Then you have glitches like the loot cave that actually becomes an "exploit." I think exploits are a little more legitimate than glitches like quick scope. Usually, players still have to work/farm/repeat an exploit in order to get the desired result and most people don't have the time or patience to use them. On the other hand, a glitch like the COD sniper quick scope is just a completely unrealistic scenario where a sniper can defeat someone using an assault rifle or sub-machine gun at medium to close range. It's the type of glitch that makes the game unbalanced and boderline unplayable. You can pretty much call the use of such a glitch cheating.
Destiny has it's flaws, but there is nothing in the game that tips the scales in favor of other players simply because every player in the game has the ability to use any "exploits" in the game. I enjoy Destiny and so do millions of other people. For those of you who don't like it and you have the physical copy, trade it or sell it and move on with your lives. Complaining about a game that more people are enjoying than those who don't is pointless.
