We'll see. The B in DBO stands for Bungie, not Blizzard, and I say vive la différence!


Not-invented-here syndrome is genuinely not a good thing. Learn from others’ lessons if you can!

Not what Kermit said, or even implied. Bungie has incorporated plenty of 3rd party tech over the years - when it works for them. (They replaced their own physics system with Havok in Halo 2 or 3, and never looked back. Havok is still in use in Destiny.)

What they've always been pretty good at is figuring out WHAT WORKS FOR THEIR NEEDS - and if existing tech doesn't solve the problem at hand, they build their own tools. That's not not-invented-here syndrome - that's "we're not going to shoehorn our ideas into someone else's solution" syndrome.
