Best option at the time (Destiny)

by RC , UK, Monday, July 07, 2014, 16:03 (3578 days ago) @ yakaman

While I can understand your frustrations, I don't really think Bungie is all that responsible for this beyond advertising their own game. If anyone was to blame, it would be Activision, Destiny's publisher and main advertiser.

Except, Bungie chose Activision. They freed themselves of Microsoft's yolk, and then immediately submitted to Activision's.

MS wouldn't have allowed it on any platform but Xbox. Not a win for Bungie or players.

Activision's money comes with fewer restrictions (biggest one being ownership of the IP) and I'm pretty damn sure Bungie shopped around but there aren't that many options at the kind of scale Bungie wanted/needed.

You think EA would have been better? Don't make me... cry.
