With all these rumors and speculation going around about Bungie firing a bunch of people, Kotaku Australia also talked a little about "Destiny", the game Bungie is apparently making with Activision. This title was said to be a MMO, but this is just a rumor. Do I believe that the firings were real. Of course not, I love Bungie and I don't see them ever doing something as horrible as that. But, do I believe "Destiny"? I believe Bungie is working on a game with Activision that could easily be another "World of Warcraft" kind of thing, but could I believe somebody that I don't trust on other accounts? I'm not saying no, but I'm not saying yes either. That's why I want you to share your thoughts about this.

Also, why did Bungie not talk about this in the Blog post?
Is it because they don't want to give away any information about something that is happening at Bungie Studios? You decide. Please, keep this topic alive and discuss!

I don't believe it to be true. Why? Blizzard has been developing a next-gen MMO for years now that has been confirmed to be an MMOFPS. It wouldn't make sense for Bungie (Blizzard and Bungie both being part of Activision) to also make an MMOFPS. They would just compete with each other. Activision's an evil company, but they're not stupid.

Because the best way to deal with stuff like this is to neither confirm nor deny it.

The rumors about layoffs, not the game. They mentioned the game zero times.

Blizzard has no experience with FPS. Bungie does. A collaboration isn't so far-fetched.

Seriously Oak, Ive been doing this -blam!- for 16 years, gimmie my Friggen starter Pokemon and dont call me till im the champion! ¬_¬

interesting, Bungie confirmed that the sacking of 30 odd employees was nothing but a rumour

they didnt even touch the revalations it lead to, question is, did they feel they had to? or was it because this "Destiny" wasn't jus a rumour

a bad verse with a string of truth to it, perhaps? :P

That's what I was thinking, too. It would be the greatest thing ever.

If the source is fake, then the information the source provided is fake.

If the "source" got it right, then it was a lucky guess.

It's real in the sense that Bungie is supposedly making a MMO that Activision is PUBLISHING ONLY (Activision isn't help making it, there is no Bungie and Activision collaboration on the development side of the game).

Anything more specific than that is completely speculation, the "sources" and stuff that are running rampant on the internet are false.

The entire basis for these rumors was that disgruntled ex-Bungie employees leaked information.

There was no disgruntled ex-Bungie employee.

Thus, the rumor lost all validity.

Though, it could still be an MMO, just not specifically what the rumors stated.

Lets say Bungie confirmed 'Destiny' was fake.

If a real leak came up and Bungie didn't say anything, then it would obviously be real.

Also, what do you guys think about this whole "Bungie Aerospace" thing? Does this have something to do with Destiny?
