Is CerebralTiger telling us that Bungie's revenooooooue was competing with CoD?

 

[CerebralTiger]

I mean, Bungie's revenooooe wasn't showing up on NPD charts owing to Destiny 2 being a service game

So by multiplatform they mean PS + PC. Because Destiny is still there on PC Game Pass lol

 

[CerebralTiger]

"We should absolutely expect more," he concludes. "We are by no means done. With PlayStation, we have a long way to go. I will personally be spending a lot of my time with Pete and the team at Bungie, helping make sure that everything beds down right and that autonomy means autonomy.
