Subject: Bungie is leaving us!

I found out that Bungie signed a 10 year contract with Activision.
Do you think this was a good idea?
Also, who thinks that 343 Industries will do as good or better than Bungie with Halo?(i know that 343 is made of mainly ex-Bungie employees anyway)

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

They're not "leaving" us.

Most of us have known about the contract signing with Activision for a while now. It's a fantastic idea seeing as they keep creative control and the move allows them to develop a brand new idea and push it multiplatform increasing their revenue and fan base. As for 343, this will really be their test to prove they've got the stuff. They talk the talk and I'm sure they'll walk the walk.

Bungie isn't leaving us; they have held our hands during the adventure of Halo and they will continue to hold our hands through their new adventure.

Regardless of who their publisher is, Bungie will continue to make great games.

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

Wrong. You can count the total amount of ex-Bungie employees that went to 343i in one hand.

And I despise Activision. We'll just have to see how it goes. :\

Nope. There are 3.

Ok. I meant they are leaving Halo, sorry not us. I am sure though from what I've seen in all the anniversary videos that 343 will do an excellent job especially as technology gets more advanced. It just feels weird that after 10 years of Bungie's Halo's, we are know going to play the same games but they will be made by a different company as I feel so close to bungie.

What is even more rare in this industry is this:

Bungie will completely and solely own their new IP in this Activision contract.

They will remain their own, private company, Bungie will not be owned by Activision.

The only rights that Activision has is that they will be the exclusive publisher of Bungie's new IP across multiple platforms (i.e. Xbox, PS3, & PC).

This information broke last year, and for us as a community, Activision's extremely limited role is good news. This means that even once the contract does end, Bungie still owns their new universe, and can still produce it themselves.

Now before we get bent on trashing Activision, I am just as happy with this deal as Bungie is.

Bungie has already stated that they are very excited to be working with Activision, and I am excited that they are as well!

Aside from some of the negative press over the years, Activision has a record of publishing some amazing games.

Now they will be publishing Bungie's new universe. I have to admit that I am very, very excited about this!

But have no fear, dear 7th Column! Bungie will always remain their own company now, and the new game and universe will always belong solely to Bungie. They can/will run this new universe the way they want to, for as long as they want to.

The possibilities of what this means for our Community are staggering, and extraordinarily exciting! If we get to track stats for this new game, there is theoretically no end to how long we can follow those stats, as well as have a hand in the development of this new universe's Community!

So awesome!

I'm excited to see what Bungie and Activision will make. It's hard to tell about 343, seeing as they've never released a title.

I'm glad I don't judge a thread by its title... Ha misleading a wee tad are we lol.

They are not leaving us, they are simply going to absorb Activision's raw talent and employees and call them Bungie from there on out. Then it's onward to the completion of the new and improved Bungie universe!!!

Er, what? Bungie won't be "absorbing" Activision staff. What on earth are you on about? You know Activision publishes games, right?

Yeah I am well aware of the fact that Activision is currently producing and developing games, also I am pretty sure they own Blizzard.

But Bungie is so awesome and cool they will just take Activision over and continue on down the warpath. I have faith lol. Anyways what I am trying to say out of my prospective is, this will only be for the good of Bungie's future in almost if not every aspect.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

You are way in left field.

They're just going dark for a little while. Nothing to worry about. They're coming out with something new, so they want to take us completely by surprise.

I'm not sure whether this will be worth my time, but nevertheless:

Activision is a publisher of video games-it doesn't develop them, and certainly won't be developing any future Bungie games.

"Take Activision over"?

If by "us" you mean Bungie's past ventures, than yes, Bungie is leaving "us" and moving on.

Bungie is only leaving "us" if you only come here for the Halo. If you come to B.net for the forums, for the sense of community, then Bungie is creating more for "us" as a community and doing more great and amazing things that Bungie seems to do on a regular basis. No fret, whatever Bungie comes up with next, you can be sure it'll be filled with all the general heart they put in all their games. It's a new beginning for them and for us, change isn't fun but it's what keeps us from dying of boredom and continuing our searches for Easter Eggs and playing new games with friends and having completely new experiences. Of course it's a great idea they start anew, especially with someone who we know can provide the resources for a good game. Leave it to Bungie.


Also, I won't delve into 343, that is left for speculation.

Right I get where your coming from. Publish, produce.. got it. They still own or are Incorporated with Blizzard and I can tell you that Blizzard develops games. I was just merely trying to be humerus (and greatly failed) when I said they would take over Activision.. Very unlikely, But you never know! :p

Activision is a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, not a synonym for it. Activision is a publisher, not a developer. That's it.
