Destiny 2 has “not reached expectations” since Sony acquisition, posting loss of $204 million

Sony acquired Bungie for approximately .6 billion in 2022, with about one-third of the investment aimed at retaining Bungie's workforce. Bungie has been operating independently since the acquisition. Sony's CFO Lin Tao announced a ¥31.5 billion impairment loss related to Bungie's intangible assets, reflecting a reassessment of Bungie's value due to underperformance in titles like Destiny 2 and Marathon. Despite this, Sony's overall sales and operating income increased by nearly ¥42 billion compared to the previous year. Tao noted that player engagement and sales for Destiny 2 have not met expectations since the acquisition. She reassured stakeholders that the goodwill associated with Bungie remains intact due to the strength of other titles in Sony's portfolio. Tao acknowledged potential risks for Bungie's upcoming releases and the ongoing performance of Destiny 2, stating that failure to meet expectations could lead to further impairment losses, but does not currently foresee these challenges affecting Sony's overall gaming segment health.

InstallAware Launches Setup Virtualization Technology “Project OS/3,” Running Windows Binaries Directly on Linux and macOS.

InstallAware Software has launched "Project OS/3," a solution that simplifies running Windows applications on Linux and macOS by using Wine. Users can install Wine through an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) setup wizard, eliminating the need for command-line interactions. The installation process is initiated with a single click, and once Wine is set up, "Project OS/3" injects the Windows application along with necessary files and registry keys into the Wine instance, ensuring the application is operational with original shortcuts recreated on the host system. Developers can provide a Windows setup file, and the tool will create a ready-to-run native code installation for both Linux and macOS, addressing compatibility issues typically encountered with Wine. The ease of use is facilitated by InstallAware Studio Admin's PackageAware setup capture technology and InstallAware Multi Platform's native code setup engines, which automatically retarget captured Windows installations onto designated Wine instances. "Project OS/3" also offers a graphical method for installing Wine, providing a quicker alternative for compatible setups. InstallAware Software, founded in 2003, specializes in cloud infrastructure and enterprise software deployment, and offers InstallAware 2025 for free for open-source projects, with paid editions available.
