In Response To: OMG THE SKY IS FALLING (Miguel Chavez)


: Sez you. The sky-is-falling fears I'm reading here are practically identical
: to what I was reading about 10 years ago. I WAS IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU!
: How could Bungie get acquired by MS? That doesn't look good! Look what
: they did to FASA! So things are different now? Damn right - in that now
: Bungie is a proven AAA dev. Consider that when they were NOT AAA, they
: still had the legal acumen and balls to sign up for something that gave
: them a way to GET OUT OF MS unscathed and holding all the cards. When that
: happened then I knew that all those years ago they knew what they were
: doing.

: What I'm seeing here is Bungie will *again* save a company's fortunes (MS
: back then during the nascent Xbox era - Activision now w/ their IW scandal
: that's pummeling their stock). I mean really - if this means that Bungie
: will be releasing their first PS3 title (along w/ Xbox/PC), that will *on
: its own* generate so much PR heat, that we may see sales numbers that
: *dwarf* what they've been able to accomplish so far from Xbox exclusivity.

: Could it all go down the drain? Sure, but not in the sense that Bungie is
: destroyed, just smeared with some goose poop.

: - M

Alright, but when Activision starts their tricks again with taking in most of fortune and taking money away from Bungie that they rightfully deserve....then don't be surprised when I say I told you so.

I guess you are blind to all the shit Activision has been doing in the past 3 years haven't you?

This is not the same boat. Trust me. It is a boat, but this is much bigger boat and this time there are two captains aboard.

What happens when one captain wants to make choices that the other one doesn't?

Just remember Double Fine and Brutal Legends as well as Terminal Reality and Ghostbusters.

You don't remember do you?
West and Zampella left 2015 studios at EA because of creative differences and because they wanted to do their own thing. Acitvision said they would and took in and created Infinity Ward. Now West and Zampella went back to EA because of the SAME reasons. I don't know about them between EA, but I did research on IW and Activision and trust me....it is not pretty and it is not the first company to have this complaint with them.

Activision and Microsoft are two DIFFERENT game publishers. Remember that as not all publishers are created equal.

It's like you are saying it was IW's fault that bad shit happened to Acitivision, but that is not the case here. The whole thing between IW and Activision was Activision's fault. They refused to give the developers the profits they deserve.

You can sit here and say I am wrong all you want, but if the day comes when a fallout happens between Bungie and Activision and Bungie. I will say I told you so.
