Uh, no. You either don't know what "bought out" means, or you were lied to. It's true that Sony and Rockstar have a more close relationship than they do with Microsoft, but Sony never bought them out.

Sony bought out Rockstar and Bungie. Deal with it.

You're an idiot.

If Sony "bought out" Rockstar and Bungie, that means they bought them outright and they now own them as companies, which is not the case. Rockstar is still owned by Take-Two Interactive and Bungie is still an independent company.


This is correct. Sony hasn't "bought out" these companys at all.

You're an idiot. Use deductive reasoning. I meant that Sony paid that company money to make a contract with them for console exclusive bonuses. Honestly, I don't know if Sony did pay Rockstar or not, I said that as a joke and you got really offensive, but they did pay Bungie money so that they would have console exclusives.

You must be really persistent with your jokes, because you brought it up twice. Deductive reasoning? I knew exactly what you meant, that's why I said that you either don't know what "bought out" means (because it doesn't mean to throw some money at a company for exclusives) or you were lied to. I'm not offended at all, I couldn't care less what some random kid over the internet says.

I am. Also, yes it does. If you buy out a company, you're spending money on them so that they will be loyal to you.

I didn't call you an idiot out of spite, I merely stated what you are. Don't try and twist my words to make it seem like I meant it in another way. Right, now on to that ignorant mix of words you just shat out.

Bought out:

1. To acquire in exchange for money or its equivalent; purchase.
2. To be capable of purchasing: "Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won't buy" (Ogden Nash).
3. To acquire by sacrifice, exchange, or trade: wanted to buy love with gifts.

There's a difference between buying a company to own, and bribing a company to serve your console exclusive content. Go be a troll somewhere else.

Well thank you for proving my point with the definition. Sony is acquiring the console exclusives and bringing up even more sales because more people are going to go to their console for the exclusives. And what did they give Bungie? Oh yeah, money.

You really are ignorant aren't you?

"To acquire in exchange for money or its equivalent; purchase."

So if they bought out Rockstar, which means they acquired them, what do you think that means?

acquire [uh-kwahyuhr] Show IPA
verb (used with object), acquired, acquiring.
1.
to come into possession or ownership of; get as one's own: to acquire property.
2.
to gain for oneself through one's actions or efforts: to acquire learning.

So, in other words, Sony came into possession or ownership of Rockstar and Bungie, is this correct?

Nope. Again, Rockstar is still acquired (here's that tricky word you don't seem to understand again) by Take-Two Interactive, and Bungie is still an independent company.

Nice try though. :coffee:
