That's an arbitrary take. What does ownership even mean to you then? Sony owns the IP AND (indirectly) pays the salaries for the people who would make Destiny 3. And yet they get no credit? You are treating ownership based on feeling of ownership instead of simple logic. If it's too big or popular prior to acquisition, then it somehow doesn't roll up the chain? Let's change this thought exercise up a bit:Lets put this way, if bungie released Destiny 3 I wouldn't champion as some Sony achievement. The buyout of Bungie is as ridiculous as Bethesda and ABK.. is numbers for the sake of numbers.
What if Hermen Hulst cancels Marathon and Bungie proposes that they make Killzone GaaS instead. This gives Hermen the boner of his lifetime and he writes them a blank check. Game earns megabucks, rave reviews and gamers agree that "Bungie is back". Does Sony get any credit?
We are in a place where Sony gets the nod for publishing Death Stranding 2, even though they neither own the IP anymore nor the studio, but they don't get credit for anything Bungie does even in the future? Isn't that weird? I think it's weird.
We can agree that the buyouts are ridiculous and not at all heartwarming to observe. But those are just feelings. Ownership is ownership. Plain and simple.
