I <3 you too Bungie

Just read the press release and looked at the download with all of the logos. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Bungie is wanting to be a publisher for mobile games. Publisher agreements look vastly different depending on the needs/desires of all parties involved--so I'm not sure if that is really what this is. What do you guys think?

For those interested, Wikipedia defines video game publishers here.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Over excited...


Also, Publishers =/= Developers.

This is going to make Bungie so much money. I see them making this into a sort of Zynga for mobile devices.

Mother of God.

Oh damn please no. If aerospace eventually looks like Zynga I will have to burn the monitor I see it on. I would accept it if it was like...Steam for mobile devices.

It doesn't have to look like Zynga, just share their ethos of cross pollination and promotion across titles as well as a unified currency.

And maybe toss in some world domination.

Seriously though, I am kinda wondering if this is going to actually function as a publishing entity. All tasks described in that press release can be performed under a publisher agreement.

I can't change my opinion, but I can change yours. My goal with an argument, is to make you change yours, not mine - I want to make you think.

My brain is destoryed.

What the hell is this? Is Bungie still making console and PC gmaes? Are they making Mobile? Are they working on the Mobile games? Are they not working on a new game? Are they not making a new game? Are they not making games like: Mar., Halo, Myth, so on? Are they not a dev any more, but a publisher for Mobile games?

Whoa. Calm down.

They made it clear that they are still concentrating on their new IP (I remember the term "laser focus"). This is kinda a new business venture for Bungie. My question is if they are intending for this to be a publishing branch for mobile games.

This. And Bungie are still fully-focused as a studio in bringing their next action universe to our consoles.

I'm leaning toward them not being publishers, but only because I'm guessing that it they were going that route, they wouldn't have formed that partnership with Activision as their new publisher. They'd probably publish their own stuff if they were going to publish anything, wouldn't they? That'd give them all the freedom they want.
