It's is one likely scenario behind Activision deciding to sell the IP to bungie , the other  scenario being when they came up with the ten year plan there may have been a clause where it came back to Bungie at the end of the ten year contract if there wasn't a renewal of contract , this would tie in with activision selling now ,  not wanting to renew contract due to gaming climate and  Destiny had made them good money but  was now past its peak so rather than wait for the  IP to revert to Bungie make an early sale.

Activision hasnt sold anything cause the IP was never theirs. The IP always belonged to Bungie. Activison only ever had publishing rights. Now they dont.

Oh well its not the first time I've made an idiot of myself, The headline of Bungie splits with Activision Keeps Destiny IP made me assume that that The IP rights were  part of the settlement . I'm not going to escape by claiming it was just a scenario am I ?

Still if I redacted IP and replaced it with publishing rights would that make sense ?.
