I read this recently: http://www.totalxbox.com/80645/features/the-future-of-destiny-bungie-talks-contracts-sequels-side-projects-and-halo/ [quote][b]So is this still the first game in a four-part saga?[/b] Four part? [b]Sorry, there was a contract from 2010 that made mention of four games, which is probably now completely obsolete.[/b] So what I'll say to you is: we said that we were a ten-year game, and both Activision and Bungie have committed to being wholly behind the large effort, and it's a large investment for both sides. I don't think there's any set date - ten years is just representing the go-forward presence and the way that we think about doing things. So what you can read in a contract isn't always as agile as what we need to do for players, and I think that that partnership between ourselves has always been good about making sure we're doing the right thing, and so... I wouldn't talk any more about the legal side of things, but from a game developer standpoint - we always prioritise what is the best experience for the players. We believe that's going to result in the best game, and Activision believe that's going to result in the best sales.[/quote] EDIT: On the next page he says the contract is just an arrangement to understand where the creative decision making is and where the marketing is...
