Well hello there damage control. Nice to see you.
The truth is that bungie had ALOT of options to make destiny that didn't involve getting into bed with activision. Not only getting into bed with them, but turning up their rump and begging for it.
You don't blame the devil for being the devil, it's what he does. You blame the dumb sonofabitch that sells their soul to him.

Uh. You don't know what options Bungie had. They weren't going to go with Microsoft, because Microsoft took Halo from them and they didn't want to make that game anymore, anyway. At least with Activision, according to their contract, Bungie will ALWAYS own every asset related to Destiny. Do you people even know how game development works? No funds, no game. Signing a contract meant funding, and they wanted to make their game. Who else were they going to partner with? EA? THQ? Which doesn't even exist anymore? There aren't a lot of options, when you're a developer that has limited funds and no publisher. People on this forum need to develop their common sense.

They are bungie. They could have gone to kickstarted and pretty much printed money. Would it have been 500 million? No, but it would have been no strings attached.

Kickstarter? You realize that's for indie projects, and lots of smaller things, right? Right?

You haven't been paying close attention. Some really big ticket names have showed up on kickstarter and came out with millions. I mean, everyone knows that kickstarter is now a great way of funding a project despite scale, without having to deal with publishers, right? Right?
