I thought they were pretty much stuck there. Wasn't the Activision deal only 10 years? Wasn't it almost up??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even made a comment about this back on IGN I think(maybe BC?). Something like it will be 10 years before I buy a bungie game. I'd love it if Halo became good again.

I know it won't happen. I'd just love it if Halo was good again and I don't see that happening with 343. 1 minute ago, skillzdadirecta said: Bungie did Reach and ODST too right?

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My theory is that because of the continued financial underperformance of Destiny 2 and other factors, Activision was on the verge of invoking some of the more draconian clauses of its contract with Bungie, including assuming actual ownership stakes. At that point, Bungie decided to buy-out the contract which means they probably obtained external financing to the tune of a few hundreds of millions.

ALIEN-gunner Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 So then when Bungie screws up again all the blame will go to them instead of Activision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Bungie used to be hands down one of my favorite developers. The destiny debacle really sucked for me. I tried real hard to like those games but they just don’t do it for me. I really hope they go back to something more narrative + big team battle style multi.

Brian Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 So after Sekiro, Activision has Crash Team Racing and Call of Duty. Yikes. No wonder Activision has been pressuring Blizzard to release something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Based on what we know from Schreier's book, Bungie's project management "skills" absent the oversight/discipline of a major publishing partner will truly be something to behold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 343 isn't going anywhere; their sole reason for existing is Halo. That's all they do. You're stuck with them, and Bungie ain't coming back, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I don't want 343. Halo is just CoD now. At least 4 and 5 felt like CoD to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokt Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 While Bungie did a lot of things right in the Halo series, the games also got progressively worse in a lot of ways. Let’s not forget that advanced movement started with Reach and so did loadouts. Also it’s not like Destiny’s story telling is any better than Halo’s at this point, nor is their enemy AI.

ALIEN-gunner Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Activison is an evil company. Any developer parting ways from them for any reason is always a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
