Bizarre Creations made a lot of games over many years, namely Project Gotham Racing, Geometry Wars, and Blur. It was an established and well-respected developer. But, Blur wasn't an outrageous success, so Activision tried to sell them. When Activision couldn't sell them, so they suggested they close down. Bizarre Creation's staff has since been broken up and absorbed by other developers and companies. As for Bungie... they had some of the biggest respect in the industry and could have made ANYTHING. Instead, Activision had them bring us Call of Duty in Space. :/
