For those of you that don't know (although you probably do from the trailers) Activision is the publisher of Destiny. Bungie has a 10 year contract with them for the Destiny series.
You all know that Bungie is the creator of first-person shooter games like [i]Halo[/i] and [i]Marathon[/i], and Activision is the publisher of the first-person shooter franchise known as (shudders) [i]Call of Duty[/i]. Activision's shooters and Bungie's shooters are, in a way, at different ends of the shooter spectrum, and the latter is trying to achieve a combination of those spectrums.
There are things that go wrong, though. Remember when Activision fired Jason West and Vince Zampella from Infinity Ward? This could easily happen to someone beloved who works at Bungie as well, like, shall we say...
[spoiler]Marty?[/spoiler]
But that's really the only bad thing I can think of at the moment. I ask you, those who are getting the game, are you comfortable with Activision publishing Destiny? If no, is there a different publisher that you think should do so, if you can think of one. I would say I'm a little concerned; I have high hopes for the game, but I wonder if there will be a conflict between the two companies, which would be easy to say if they [i]were[/i] with a different company. If there was an alternative company, I would most likely want it to be Ubisoft, because I think they could use another FPS series outside of the [i]Far Cry[/i] series. What are your thoughts?
