I hope that Bungie was really desperate for a publisher when they signed on with Activision. Like, deal with Activision or file bankruptcy and go under desperate. Or how Greece has no choice but to take austerity measures from the EU desperate. And I also hope that they didn't give up their creative freedom without a fight, and that they had literally no choice because the Activision deal tied their hands. And that it was a matter of survival, and not all for the monies.
