Destiny and Bungie on the same website? Or, possible separation?
At one point in the [url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/28/destiny-story-details-concept-art-leaked]IGN bit on Destiny info[/url] they mention the possibility that Destiny is the actual name of Bungie's next IP, and the possibility that destiny.com, currently password protected, could be the hoste site to the Destiny universe and franchise.
This possibility raises some questions on Bungie.next.
Unlike, say, Blizzard - which has a site for Blizzard and a separate site for each of its games - Bungie.net has also been Bungie's main site for it's current game and past games. It helps that Bungie has been pretty much a one-game-at-a-time company, so they could get away with it.
But Destiny seems huge. Bigger than halo in in-game universe, community, franchise, and potential expanded universe.
Do we really want (we are now thinking of post Destiny release) both all of Bungie and all of Destiny on one site?
tl;dr
[b][i]Would you be ok having Bungie.net[/b][/i] (perhaps a site for Bungie lore, past games, bungie community, a general Destiny forum, and of course the flood) [b][i]and Destiny.com[/b][/i] (perhaps a game to track and maintain all in game material, faction material and forums, and destiny in-game community) [b][i]as separate sites?[/b][/i]
What are your thoughts on the possibility?

You don't know what you're talking about. Notice the article you linked is inconsistent. It says that it's Activision's IP in the headline but that it's Bungie's IP in the body text.
