We all know that Stosh is to blame for this. As for the reveal itself it is a little anti climatic to me. I've been waiting for years for new info and I get a legal contract to whet my appetite?

Have you read the contract? It might as well be a press release.

Thank you Bungie,

See you starside.

He beat me to it. ^

Bungie is probably shooting themselves in the foot about this. I can't imagine what they'd be feeling right now; probably pissed.

How did the contract get 'leaked' anyway?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I wonder if this is just a publicity stunt.

5 Million Copier is six months? That is a lofty goal. Then again it is Activison's full marketing weight behind it. Still...I don't want to see Bungie get severed by Activision.

Change the last "what we know" to "The games will attempt to be made Teen/PEGI16, but if it's rated M Bungie will not be in trouble."

At least we won't have to see that annoying title "See you starside" that starside took too much time.

2013, I'm watching you.

I don't think so, Bungie doesn't reveal stuff like this. They love to give a big show before showing something.

Yes I understand that, but aren't court documents supposed to be confidential? Did a juror disclose this contractual agreement?

Skeptical about that development cycle.... I'd hate to see Bungie whored out into another yearly release studio.

Otherwise couldn't be more excited to see what they have in store for us :)

Also, new Marathon (!!!)

West and Zampella, the scumbag minds behind Infinity Ward and Call of Duty, were fired by activision in 2010. The circumstances are complicated and no one really knows what happened, but one of the things in contention is that West and Zampella are saying they accepted a sub-par contract in return for greater creative control, so I'd imagine this has been released as a broadly comparable contract to determine whether the IW guys got a competitive deal.

Courts are supposed to be as open as possible; justice is a public matter, even in civil cases. Not all documents, even confidential ones, are automatically sealed. Considering how little genuinely new information was in this it's not surprising it has been unsealed.

I'm just hoping Bungie doesn't announce the DLC before the game even comes out. Worst mistake you can make.

  • 05.21.2012 7:36 PM PDT

So we have about a year and a half to go. Damn. Hopefully that means this fall we'll have some teasers though.


Also... a shooter MMO on a console? Interesting. Bungie you NEED to not do what blizzard did: limit the characters. They limit your character name to 12 characters. I REQUIRE 13!!!

I don't want Bungie to just throw out reskins of their other games. Who knows, they're probably already in development phase on "Destiny 2".

Also, welcome back Casper, I haven't seen you post in forever!

You should probably avoid reading the contract, then.
