I literally wrote except Bungie two times in the first lines.

But even Bungie was not comparable in any level to either Bethesda or Activion Blizzard, even as yes, it was the same kind predatory purchase.

Bungie was a big multiplatform dev worth billions. Not as big as Activision, but to categorise Sony's purchases as small time or harmless is inaccurate.

@curl-6 @BraLoD Destiny and Marathon weren't made into console exclusives like Starfield and others in the MS stable. @curl-6 What was so harmful about Sony purchasing Bungie other than the waste of money it turned out to be? How did it actually harm gamers? 

Starfield and the rest aren't going to stay exclusive, and they may have been timed exclusives anyway without the acquisition.

In the case of both Sony and MS's consolidation, the main harm is that both have shuttered multiple studios and laid off a lot of devs post-acquisition.
