[quote][b]Luis[/b] Because they got bored of just making Halo and wanted to do something new.[/quote]So far all is true.[quote] So when it was time to renew the contract they decided not to. They gave Halo to MS.[/quote]but then the truth disappears. Bungie signed on for 10 years ... they only completed 7. The appealed to Microsoft to release them from that contract which they did, one of the conditions being that there was a completion of Reach and a transfer to 343. Plus Microsoft owned Halo already ... there was no "[i]giving[/i]" of Halo to be done, not by bungie. But back to the first point ... "[i]they got bored[/i]", this was after only 4 games in 7 years. How are they going to deliver on 10 games over 10 years ... a far more demanding schedule, no new fun that comes from a new engine (yep, bungie want to push the same engine for 10 years). This will be the interesting part to watch. The other grievance they held towards Microsoft is that bungie felt Microsoft to be "too controlling". And yet already Activision is calling the shots with Destiny - even before the first release. Pushing the platforms (hell, Microsoft got Gearbox to do the PC port, no force applied there) ... and now the special deals being done with Sony (with nothing going to xbox gamers). This should be more fun to watch than the game itself.
