I remember when the acquisition was announced, it came out that Bungie went back to MS first to try and be acquired again, and MS turned them down at a price of something like only $1 bill.

People on the Sony fangirl forums like neogaf were all so happy thinking that MS made a bad decision passing on Bungie, and thought Sony getting them was bigger than MS getting Activision blizzard 🤣

Sony panicked and bought a company no one else wanted for about 5 times what they were actually worth.
