It's up to Activision, not Bungie (Destiny)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Wednesday, June 17, 2015, 01:40 (3433 days ago) @ JDQuackers

Microsoft stated in their presser (as well as in subsequent interviews) that the decision to allow the backwards compatibility was up to the publisher of each title.

That's Bungie's fault. They should have not conceded shit like that in their contracts with activation. They created one of the biggest game franchises ever. They should have took a much harder line. Easy to say from here I guess since I don't know particulars, but I do think Bungie told a bit of a fib when they said they retained total creative control.
