But at the time when they were trying to go independent it would’ve seemed a more accurate estimation of worth, it’s just weird that they kept that valuation and most likely added onto it by the time Sony was interested.

With halo and the staff that made it, you could argue they’d be worth that much but they didn’t.
That argument lost all of it’s weight after all the Halo veterans left or were fired/let go.
It lost it long before then, truth be told — it’s not like Bungie suddenly started making bad decisions in 2025.
