Bungie Reportedly Celebrated Activision split With Cheers, Champagne
Kotaku’s UK division recently posted a report on the split between the two companies, and with it came some new information about how Bungie’s reaction.
Apparently, there was much celebration to be had when they found out they were firmly in control of their franchise, without Activision’s weight on it.
The relationship between the two was a lot more strained than the public was aware of. So when the news about the split came, there was much excitement.
Kotaku noted, “Bungie told employees during a team meeting this afternoon, framing it as fantastic news for a studio that has long grown sick of dealing with its publisher.”
But it wasn’t just cheers. Per the site’s report, “Employees cheered and popped champagne, according to one person who was there.”
This is indeed good news for Bungie, as the company can now take Destiny whichever direction they see fit with the support of the community behind them.
However, Activision didn’t get off so lucky. Not only did its stocks take a hit from the news, but it appears to be under investigation as well, as some see this break-off as potential fraud.
We’re still waiting to see what news comes from this in the days ahead, but it sounds like Bungie is ready to put their best foot forward with the franchise, with some suggesting that they could have the third chapter in the series ready as soon as sometime next year. Without corporate pressure, though, they can take as much time as they need to make it right. In the meantime, hey, who’s ready for a dance-off competition?

Two_Faced Well that's kinda dumb. That's like celebrating a divorce. You are celebrating your horrible decisions that led you to the divorce, and the divorce itself. I see Bungie falling off even more now for some reason. Bungie made the decision to leave Microsoft over greed basically. It's not all Activisions fault d2 was a flop.
They were at their best in the Halo 3 and Reach period. They failed to recapture the Bungie magic with the Destiny releases. Maybe Microsoft was greedy, but at least it brought out the best in Bungie. Now, they've turned into a shell of themselves. Definitely foresee them going down even farther.

Damn I would too, they have created something so big they can control it on their own, and developers really need all that control. Screw Activision.

wponx Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bungie still needs a publisher right? Or can they self publish Destiny?
They are a big enough company to self publish.
