Yes it could, because 1) COD doesn't dictate the genre and 2) Destiny reputation stems from Halo's success, not COD.

Would activision have the money to support destiny without their call of duty money maker?

Edited by TheMighty3X: 8/29/2014 4:10:02 PMActivision are the ones who went to Bungie, not the other way around. They signed the deal with Bungie because of the lawsuit with Jason West and Vincent Zampella and needed a new direction in major games development aside from COD in the wake of the majority of Infinity Ward's original staff leaving and filing that class action suit against them.

What does that change. If another publisher had signed them they wouldve had a budget but it proly wouldnt have been as big

It was only going to be one of the Big 3 (Activision, EA or Ubisoft) to sign on with a major developer like Bungie. They weren't going to do this with just any publisher. JUst happens that Activision were the ones who jumped first. This agreement came to be all the way back in 2010, back before we knew anything any of games out now, so it was strictly a decision Activision made to get themselves a fresh franchise aside from COD, not relying on it.

Ok thats a good point

Now that's a valid point.
