To me, he's childlike in his obstenent naivety. He's the 8 year old kid who is obsessed with the Blue Jays. They have a good team. They might make a push for a deep postseason run next year and all of a sudden the Yakees sign 4 All Star players. Certain children, to mask the threat, resort to creating wild narratives to soothe their ego. "They overpaid for those players. I think Ohtani is getting old. They have to buy their players because they can't build any through their farm team." The kid is smart enough to know how important those 4 signings were but he can't admit it out loud.
Colin embodies that child to a tee.
Preposterous.
The Bungie situation has been anything but "well documented". In fact, the IGN story was laughably bad clickbait journalism masquerading an air of integrity about it.
IGN offered 0 details or context around the two juiciest pieces of their story. Was Lightfall profitable? Historically, what have their yearly projections looked like? What are the details around the board situation with Sony?
The reason details were not provided is because details would hamper the stories clickability. Their audience does not demand details or context. An audience that does not demand details or context are the easily duped. The easily duped are easily led.
Colin's suggestion that they should sell Bungie based on what he's read from IGN, is again, that obstenent child who doesn't like feeling the industry shift beneath his feet. He doesn't like GAAS, so he'll bite hook line and sinker, on any anti GAAS narrative swirling in the toilet. This is especially funny considering Colin is relatively aware of shoddy journalism when it comes to gaming and politics.
Sony went through Bungie with a fine tooth comb. Do you honestly think their teams of MBAs with decades of experience, were shocked when the 8% layoffs happened (post Covid contraction) and Lightfall underperformed? Sony bought Bungie for the mid to long term. Minor bumps in the road are par for the course.
