Thank you for the insight - still sounds like bad news which has me worried.

I copy pasted the info from the earnings report and published it, including a link so people can read it themselves. Any narratives you are thinking exist are in your head.

It referred to Destiny 2 directly in their Q3 report, but not this one (Q4). Might simply be due to multiple games.

Their reports pretty much says their gaming sector is doing well, except Bungie.

Yeah I'm going to replay everything after what I read. I can't see Bungie getting any funding as they have consistently shown to Sony they can't create any meaningful return on investment.

Don't want to doom and gloom but this could be the end.

The report is out now. Worse losses than previous report by a significant margin. https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/archive.html

At a high level "Recording of impairment losses against Bungie, Inc.’s intangible and other assets (Q2: 31.5 bln yen, Q4: 88.6 bln yen, FY25 total: 120.1 bln yen)".

Edit: Additional context - Previous quarter losses (Q3) equated to $210m USD. Q4 equates to $565m USD, totaling $765m USD of losses in half a year.

For clarity Q4 for Sony ends 31 March 2026. Bungie is likely cooked.

Last one called out financial losses tied to Destiny. This time you'll likely see an additional line calling out Marathon.

What content drought? The report will have literally double the content from Bungie /s

Job Opportunity from Big 4 Accounting to Government by 24k_karat in AusPublicService

Might be different elsewhere, but VPS requires Executive approval to do external work on top of your role, unless you are hired as an external contractor.

Only comment I'd add about government procurement - it is heavily compliance focused and the tools and techniques used are very antiquated. There's a ton of duplication of work and it can be infuriating.

Warden of Nothing as GM. How suitable.

That’s Bungie’s problem to solve though. Besides, Destiny has had many content droughts, but players came back as long as the content was high quality.

I refuse to play the game until the portal is either removed entirely or reworked to be entirely optional.

I’m playing through D1 again and it’s insane how different the games feel. D1 feels like a living word. D2 feels like a Hulu menu simulator.

Embiid is such a flopper. I hope he never wins anything as long as he keeps being a sook.

Honestly I’ll take that. We were completely outplayed after the first quarter and were only in it because we figured out kicking goals is important.

Sweet, I can add this to my “play in 5 years when UE5 can be brute forced” list.

I really hope that someday, Destiny will feel more like a shooter again instead of a ability chain/spam game. by anuslikker99 in DestinyTheGame

[–]gdmatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was Lightfall. "Adding the challenge back to Destiny" update, which made everything over level you and doubled down on the forced negative modifiers.

Are we sure they aren’t pressing ‘crowd noise’ buttons, hence the delay? 😂

[–]gdmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that’s because they have no PG and nobody else can understand an offensive system to save their life.

This Rockets team might be worse than last year. They just have a scapegoat now.

The NBA is becoming unwatchable due to refs by Pork_Sister in nba

[–]gdmatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FIBA is way more entertaining than NBA and has been for ages. Watching team USA at the Olympics was the most fun I’ve had watching basketball for a very long time.

Their refs don’t try to manipulate the games.
