Activision Loses Bungie & Destiny

[Legal]

Friend just pointed out that Activision is publicly traded - and how that was directly in conflict with how a studio the size of Bungie devs games

that actually makes a ton of sense... if they're pushed and pulled to have certain content out quarterly to meet changing demands then yeah - kinda explains a lot actually

Yeah, man. Activision lives and dies on annual releases. Bungie has 750 people on staff. Studios with double the headcount struggle with getting a product out on that frequent a schedule. There's a reason High Moon and Vicarious Visions have been more involved recently.

Overrated Developers.

Halo Reach, Halo 4, Destiny, and Destiny 2 are all ass cheek. Halo CE was a fluke, and Halo 2 preupdate proved the perfection weapons balancing of Halo CE was designed by accident. Halo 2 after the update and 3 just copy Halo CE.

Breh you seriously doubting the good will, bungie has with fans. If they play this right Bungie can see Halo levels of critical and commercial success.

Its been well documented Bungie was forced to piecemeal and cut content due to Activision’s market strategy.

There comeback story basically sells itself.

They're good. They've been supposedly building towards this for a while now.

They did this last summer:

Bungie has been quietly working on a non-Destiny new game for some time now, and today the studio acknowledged it for the first time, announcing a partnership with Chinese publisher NetEase that will raise them $100 million.

“Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve entered into a new partnership with NetEase to help us explore new directions,” the company said on its website. “With their industry expertise, they’ll empower us to build new worlds and invite players, new and old, to join us there. They’ll help us support separate teams inside Bungie to bring our newest ambitions to life.”

I get it, but Bungie has a lot to prove, hopefully it works out for them but I don't have a good feeling for them.

I want to like Bungie breh, but from all the fukk ups and behind the scenes shenanigans, scrapping entire projects and shyt, I'm not 100% Bungie gets it.

I'm still pissed that Destiny wasnt nowhere near what they said it would be

Not all of this shyt is Activision fault and the same can be said for MS back in the day. Bungie just keeps fukking up

 

[FappleMeOff]

Bungie ain't fineess nothing

If Destiny was doing well, no way in hell Activision would let them walk. Activision invested hundreds of millions into Destiny/Bungie and weren't getting that Halo/COD audience they were expecting.
They looked at Destiny 3 and said hol up
, we want out

And Bungie gets to walk away with the IP. I like Destiny but I'm not sure Activision was the sole reason it sucked in some areas.

To be fair, Reach was them throwing a game out there while they were stepping out the door. They handed that shyt over to 343 as soon as it came out. They had nothing to do with 4, and you can't just gloss over how monumental the first 3 Halos were. They're the reason Microsoft is squeezing 343 to recreate magic that they probably never will.

That means Destiny 3 probably wil be dope or shyt.

Can you predict more things, clairvoyant one?
