Bungie announced today that they have signed a 10 year exclusive publishing partnership with Activision.
What a kick in the balls.
Bungie is the developer behind the HALO franchise. I buy and play HALO games and find them to be lots and lots of fun.
Activision is the publisher of the monster Call of Duty franchise and World of Warcraft. Also, in the eyes of gamers, the most evil company in existence. Their CEO, Bobby Kotick, has been quoted saying his business goals with Activision was to "take all the fun out of making video games" and promotes an atmosphere of "skepticism, pessimism, and fear" in the company he runs. Activision also is accused of withholding royalty payments to Infinity Ward for their work on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. You know, the game with over 1 billion dollars in worldwide sales.
