It's been over three months since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bungie cut its ties with Activision to gain sole ownership of the Destiny IP, and any future sequels to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Destiny 2, but the publisher behind Call of Duty: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Ops 4 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch may not have been the only corporate entity the studio came up against 🎀during development of its first-person shooter series. 

According to Kotaku's Jason Schreier, speaking on a recent last week, Bungie had plans to allow for cross-platform character transfers in Destiny 2 between PC and PS4, but Sony had other ideas. "I heard that Bungie wanted to do character transfers for PS4, PC - before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Destiny 2: Forsaken came out - but ൲Sony wouldn't allow it", Schreier said. "Sony is just like, we want people to associate Destiny with PS4, even if that means screwing over other players. It sucks and hopefully Bungie ends it."

Sony has garnered a reputation as being 🐷澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:relentlessly against the idea of cไross-play and cross-platform progression, so the notion of it pouring cold water over Bungie's plans certainly checks out with the company's recent history. Over the last year or so, Sony has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:enabled PS4 cross-play on certain games like Fortnite but, next to the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft and Nintend✤o, the PlayStation nation is still leaguᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚes behind the curve. 

Luckily, Schreier's comments suggest Bungie now has the freedom to enable character transfers for any future Destiny products, as it is now one of the biggest independent game developers in the industry. The studio hasn't announced anything as of yet, as it's still running through its year two roadmap for Destiny 2, but perhaps - in five years time - we'll be creating our Warlock Guardian on a PS5 and preparing them for an endgame raid on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Project Scarlett. Stranger things have happened, after all.
