I kind've lumped Bungie in as second party, though I suppose it's possible that after Halo 3 Recon they'll look for another publisher. As for Ensemble, many were spread out amongst MGS, many split off to form a new studio, and many just outright left for other studios, or plan to leave after Halo Wars is finished. You can find out a bit more about what happened via the link in the article. The whole thing just kind've hit them by surprise, and they certainly weren't happy about it. |
bungie is a weird studio now, they have rules they must fallow when looking for a publisher, one of which requires them to give MS a chance to publish any titles, though i do not know if they can trun down an ms offer, really what bungie wanted was creative freedom to work on new games and they have that now, so i do expect to see new ip's it will be interesting to see if ms chooses to be publisher on any of them
