Do you think 10 years from now Bungie will be a self publisher?
With all the revenue that Bungie's new IP will garner, do you think that once Bungie's contract with Activision is up that they will publish all future titles under the Bungie/Aerospace banner?
It's tough to see what the gaming landscape will be like in a decade, but I hope that Bungie has the fore thought to break the publisher developer cycle. After all what is a publisher but a source of funding and advertising. Somthing I believe that if Bungie plays their cards right could accomplish.

1 ReplyUnless they undergo a Bethesda/ZeniMax style growth of business operations or the gaming landscape changes so drastically they move to PC only or consoles move to digital distribution only, it will be very difficult. Someone has to print the discs, make the commercials, set up all of the shipments in the current climate. There's no question they develop at the same tier of other self-publishing independent developers like Valve (and technically BGS).
