If they thought Microsoft "locked them down", then Activision will take that to the extreme. See Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Raven Software, Sledgehammer, etc.

Activision doesn't own Bungie.

They don't but they signed a ten year publishing deal. I imagine Activision wouldn't let Bungie go without a fight.

In what way? It's a four game deal, and when it's over Bungie can tell Activision to go kick rocks if they want.

I too am sure all those longtime Mac fans really do miss Bungie..
With 10 games released on Mac since 1991, 5 being Apple exclusive,

Oh man, you are pretty clever, you should try stand-up.
OT: I can imagine being burned out after so many halo games or any kind of franchise. Sometimes, trying something new and refreshing is much more satisfying than sticking to the same, comforting thing despite being risky.

Bungie could go to another publisher if they wanted, but that would cause legal issues with the IP. Bungie owns the Destiny IP, but Activision owns the publishing and distribution rights to ALL future Destiny games according to the contract. It's like Nintendo and Bayonetta 2; they don't own the IP, but their name is on the box so it's not going anywhere.
Thay's why I doubt Bungie will leave so easily. Activision also apparently wants to turn Destiny into the next CoD. It probably won't be an annual franchise, but Activision wants to milk it.
I bet they're gonna say the same thing in 10 years wen their contract with Activision runs out, that is if they don't extend it.

(As soon as you shoot him which is trash like kids from Reach) Variations of BR AR DMR and Pistol as primary weapons (Each of which primary weapons in different Halos) Knight uses same type of shield as Prometheans from Halo 4. Bubble Shield Sticky Grenade Overshield Speed Boost Invisibility Huge bug type of enemy where you have to take each of the legs out first then shoot the energy core. Dropships. Vehicles that have same properties as Ghost and Revenant. Sure Bungie, I bet it was so liberating. |
Developers often use elements from their previous to inspire their future games. That doesn't make it the same game, from what I've heard Halo and Destiny are very different.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
