[quote]Bungie knew exactly who ATVI was when they hopped in bed with them. Try that line of defense elsewhere. It doesn’t fly to an unbiased observer.[/quote]
It wasn't a defense, it was a dismissal. Bungie was dropped by ATVI because ATVI would rather have e.g. Vicarious Visions making Candy Crush 2.0 over Warmind 2.0. I would not use ATVI dropping a studio as an excuse of poor financial decisions.
I agree that BA was pretty whelming. Joker's Wild is shaping up to be a lot better.

No, lol, I try to never make a comparison from ATVI to Bungie, or their decisions wrt the why’s, where’s and who’s. I would only be guessing with absolutely nothing to go on. My point was simple, Bungie knew what it was doing, they didn’t go into the contract unaware of how ATVI does business. As far as why Bungie and ATVI separated, ask 1,000 ppl, you’ll get 1,000 different answers. None of my input to that conversation would be unique, lol. It happened, it’s that simple. ATVI isn’t an evil conglomerate, they are simply a publicly traded video game company. Bungie isn’t evil and out to get we gamers, they are simply a privately held video game developer. Streamers aren’t evil! lol. I just remember them all leaving, saying hasta lluego Bungie and Destiny gamers. So, I know what their priorities are, they stated it publicly, it’s pleasing those that sub them. They would be ecstatic if their subs doubled and Bungie’s dlc/annual sales numbers were cut in half. Streamers are biased towards their pocketbooks. It’s not evil, nor is it bad, but it doesn’t mean their voice is what’s best for THIS game’s overall, long term health. It’s that simple.
