[quote]Let me shine a light into this matter. The money we pay for the game doesn't go directly to bungie. It does to the developer's in this case "Activision" only a small portion of the sales go to Bungie. The majority of the money used for their salaries came from Activision when they signed a contract with Bungie. Its the reason why they have strict a timetable to create and ship content for us to purchase. If they don't, according to the contract, Activision can force Bungie to merge with them.[/quote] Sorry but that's just plain wrong. Activision is a [b]publisher[/b] and Bungie is a [b]developer[/b]. Activision 100% CANNOT "force Bungie to merge with them". How does that even make sense? You're right that the revenue generated from sales gets split between multiple parties, but that information is not public. You and I both have absolutely NO CLUE what their ratios are and who gets paid what. The budget was never intended to be spent fully on Destiny 1, nor was it expected to carry them through the 10 year plan. There was always (as in most businesses) a plan to supplement initial funding with sales. Destiny 1 was reported making ~$350 million at launch and was also reported as not costing "anything near $500 million for development". The exact trail of money from my pocket to the pockets of all the individual devs that work at Bungie is untraceable. Sure. I'm just saying WE drive this franchise forward with our dollars, it's time to start being smart and acting like we deserve that responsibility. When I say "we pay their salaries" I mean that as in we have every right to be critical and give feedback when necessary. We are the reason that Destiny stays afloat and doesn't run out of money! Is that accurate enough for all you business moguls? 🙄
