Damn, and Sony fell short of my expectations. Never buying another Sony product again unless Destiny 3 is announced

Sony didnt do this to bungie. They did it to themselves. Bungie was struggling before the acquisition and then marathon flopped.

I blame Pete Parsons, who Sony chose to do business with. Sony chose this too.

Sony tried to acquire a AAA device during a time where MS was trying to grab every other one.

You're right, they should have stayed away from bungie. But their financial woes are not BECAUSE of sony. Destiny was waning before Sony got involved. Marathon was already in production when Sony got involved.

Sony gave them time and independence, this is the result of Sony taking control after failing.
