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

by General Vagueness , The Vault of Sass, Wednesday, June 17, 2015, 02:58 (3446 days ago) @ Cody Miller

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.

It's Bungie's fault that Microsoft wants approval from the publisher of each game before doing this?
