[quote]I'm very seriously wondering if this is some kind of design on Bungies part to get out of the contract with Activision by using some loophole.[/quote] I've wondered this myself. It wouldn't make much sense to alienate a large portion of the fanbase in the process though. So I have nothing left to believe except, the just don't have much talent in house outside of the art/audio departments. Maybe Bungie needs to make $20 indie titles. Seems more like what they're capable of pulling off.
