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?
-
"Bungie" is compound subject, referring to the people who work for the company. It is correct to use "is" when referring to Bungie. "Bungie is releasing a new game next quarter" However, when you're talking about "the Bungie developers", you use "are".
