Grammar Debate! "Are" or "Is"?

So I hear people say things two different ways. When referring to a company or organization, some people use the verb "are", some "is". For example: Bungie ARE being very secretive about Destiny. OR Bungie IS being very secretive about Destiny. I know there are multiple people, but the outfit is singular. So which is it?

  • A company is a singular entity, therefore "is" is correct. I know other people have already said it, I just felt like typing it down myself as a personal reminder to not make that mistake.
