Will see what 343 can do ... and if it is to happen it will be after H4 (thats just bungie housekeeping) ... but bungie had to go.
Bungie left. They weren't told to leave.
lol - thats like using the 'I was lagged out, I didnt quit' defense to avoid a quit ban.
(kinda ironic how your beloved bungie add that feature into reach, and then 'left the game' as you prefer to see it)
There is enough public information for the truth to be known ... bottom line is that bungie became a VERY difficult partner (for many reasons), bungie put an ultimatum (blackmail?) to Microsoft that they get what bungie wants, or bungie leaves.
Microsoft told bungie it could go.
Or if you want to flavour it, Microsoft released bungie from the contract ... either way, under contract law (not bungie law - lol) only the primary contract holder may release a subservient party. Even if bungie had declared itself broke or non-functional it would have been up to Microsoft to release them from contract (after claiming rights owed).
