Activision/Blizzard and EA getting their asses handed to them lately, I'm liking it. Their shady practices towards both developers and consumers are at long last coming back to haunt them. That said; Bungie won't have an easy time as independents, they'll lose their financial foundation and would need to return to their roots and create a super hit in order to remain what they are, or return to what they once were. I don't care about Destiny and I never much enjoyed Bungie's games, but it's a good day when major publisher dictators lose another talented developer to independence. We need more of this.

Bungie jumped ship before the storm. Just hoping/wishing Blizzard will do the same. Activision is corrupted by greed.

Jesus, already freed from their confines, and people want them to remain exclusive to a console or one of the big 3.

Hows about letting them do what they want and maintaining complete freedom?.

What if they want to be purchased by a console manufacturer? 

Kinda hoping they leave Destiny behind and start a new franchise.

...Really don't want them to be bought by anyone or have any exclusivity agreements... But out of everyone in the industry, they still have some strong ties to Microsoft.

They just broke away from a publisher. I doubt they want to be snatched up by a console one. Even then, I'd rather they not, because I know that would screw with them doing anything for PC in the future. We've already seen that happen with MS and Halo, the last thing I want is them having to do that all over again. 

Bungies most successful era was under a console manufacture, they were considered the best at one stage. Also funding isn't free. They will need to gather something to make games. Bungie has a lot of employees so it will be interesting what road they take. 

I know you listed. I didn't name any of them because I really don't care for any of those even if they had solid reviews.

Must be because most of the really good games have been exclusive to a platform or had preference for console.

Did Destiny sold more on PC?

I initially read this as "Reach Around" and now I'm cleaning Sprite off of me

I put 750 hours into D1 and have about 500 in D2....so happy about this news
