Sony CFO Lin Tao says Destiny 2 has not reached expectations

It’s been a tumultuous period for Destiny 2 maker Bungie since the studio was acquired by Sony. New financial data now reveals that this acquisition has had a notable impact on Sony’s finances.

Sony recorded an impairment loss related to a portion of its Bungie assets. Specifically, the company took a 31.5 billion yen ($204 million USD) loss connected to Destiny 2, as disclosed in Sony’s Q2 2025 earnings report published last night. This significant write-down signals that the popular live service game has not been performing as well as Sony initially anticipated.

Sony’s CFO, Lin Tao, further confirmed these concerns during a subsequent Q&A session, as reported by Eurogamer. He explained that, partially due to changes in the competitive environment, both sales and user engagement for Destiny 2 have fallen short of the expectations set at the time Sony acquired Bungie.

The news underscores the challenges facing Destiny 2 and reflects the broader complexities involved in managing and growing live service games within a highly competitive market.

Big E Predicts World Title Run For WWE Star

John Cena shocked the Boston crowd on Monday Night Raw when he defeated Dominik Mysterio to win the Intercontinental Championship, becoming a Grand Slam Champion in his final hometown appearance. While the loss ended Dominik’s title reign, former WWE Champion Big E explained on the WWE Raw Recap why the match was a huge step forward for the young star’s career.

### A ‘Big Co-Sign’ For Dominik

Big E noted that being in a competitive match with Cena during his retirement tour is a massive endorsement from the company.

“I know that it’s a losing effort, but I do love this for Dom. We have what, four more weeks of John Cena’s career, and Dominik Mysterio is not in a squash match with John Cena, he’s going toe to toe with John Cena, he’s getting mic time with John Cena. I understand that he lost the title to Cena, but I think this was a big moment for Dom. ‘Passing of the torch moment’ might not be the right way to put it, but I think it is a big co-sign that yeah, Dom is a guy who we’re going to invest in for a long time.”

### A Pivotal Career Moment

Big E stated that he believes this match will be remembered as a key moment in Dominik’s eventual rise to the main event.

“He didn’t get the job done, but I love this for Dom, and I think this is going to be a moment we look back on when Dom is a world champion, who knows, a year, two years from now, whenever that time comes.”

“I think we’ll look back at pivotal moments in his career, his ascension to that top spot, and we’ll look at this as a great moment in his career.”
