| IamAwsome said: 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. |
Maybe, but that would mean when the contract is up Bungie will have worked on Destiny as long as they did on Halo, at which point they may be ready to move on again. So long as their reputation is still intact, I don't see it being hard for them to find another publisher.
