 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today I bring you another destiny video and today We have possibly the biggest news to ever come out the entirety of destiny as a franchise Activision and bungee split ways say But before we go any further guys if you do enjoy the video and would like to show you support You can by hitting that like button if you are new around here and enjoy what you see make sure you subscribe So here's me sitting there eating my chicken my phone alerts me of a tweet by bungee it reads today We're announcing plans for bungee to assume full publishing rights for the destiny franchise I am like what is this a troll what is going on? Let's read through the entire post from bungee when we first launched our partnership with Activision in 2010 The gaming industry was in a pretty different place as an independent studio setting out to build a brand new Experience we wanted a partner willing to take a big leap of faith with us We had a vision for destiny that we believed in but to launch a game of that magnitude We needed the support of an established publishing partner with Activision We created something special to date destiny has delivered a combination of over 50 million games and expansions to players all around the world more importantly we've also witnessed a Remarkable community tens of millions of guardians drunk rise up and embrace destiny to play together To make and share memories and even to do truly great things that reach far beyond the game We share to deliver a positive impact on people's everyday lives We have enjoyed a successful eight-year run and would like to thank Activision for their partnership on destiny Looking ahead we're excited to announce plans for Activision to transfer publishing rights for destiny to bungee with our remarkable Destiny community we are ready to publish on our own while Activision will increase their focus on owned IP Projects the plan transition process is already underway in its early stages with bungee and Activision both committed to making sure the Hand-off is as seamless as possible With forsaken we learned and listened and leaned into what we believe our players want from a great destiny experience Rest assured there is more of that underway We'll continue to deliver on the existing destiny roadmap and we're looking forward to releasing more seasonal Experiences in the coming months as well as surprising our community with some exciting announcements about what lies beyond Thank you so much for your continued support our success is old in no small part to the Incredible community of players who have graced our worlds with light and life. We know self publishing won't be easy There's still much more for us to learn as we grow as an independent global studio But we see unbound opportunities and potential in destiny We know that new adventures await us on new worlds fulfilled with mystery adventure and hope We hope you'll join us there. See you star side now to be honest This is something I just didn't think would ever happen bungee splitting with Activision. I am I'm gubsmacked I really am now personally this I feel could be the best thing ever for the game But indeed it could mean the worst at division whether you like it or not We're a massive part of the game We all fell in love with back in the day with destiny one and now they have left the scene and bungee take full Publishing rights this could be the start of something spectacular or it could indeed be the downfall for the franchise Now we don't know why this split happened, but no doubt money was involved the last quarter I believe was the lowest profits margin they seen or near there and maybe Activision didn't feel their investment was worth it Or people it could mean that bungee have seen the light of day and have realized Activision may be holding them back I mean, it's all speculation at the moment I don't think we will get an official statement of why they split but people will speculate that is for sure Why I can tell you guys is bungee within the future won't have to meet requirements set by Activision I mean they most probably won't limit content either one thing I'm sure and though guys is with the split happening I'm pretty sure Activision will still earn money from destiny to as Activision published destiny to so although the split might be a Great thing to hear. I actually don't see changes solely benefiting bungee until the release of destiny through if that even happens One would assume Activision would have published that also if development of the game had already started Maybe this was set to happen and contracts were going to be up prior to D3 that we don't know yet All I can say is this news has truly left me excited to see how bungee do indeed pull off destiny through Like I said if it does happen, maybe indeed will be more like a halo game than a card game mechanics wise That's the bungee. We all love that is for sure But people I will say don't think the mistakes we have seen with destiny where all Activision's fault game wise I'd say even more sort of the fuckups we experienced with destiny were probably more so bungee's fault From the early days with halo 2 I'm pretty sure Microsoft had to step in and tell them to sort their shit out But in relation to my last two statements guys, it isn't even the same bungee team now that we're behind halo Yes, some people may still be there But a lot has changed Martin O'Donnell and Joel Staten just to mention a few names Marty was the man behind the music of halo and destiny and Joel Staten I believe was the lead writer and also wrote the original destiny story He also writes great halo books as some of you will know so Lord has changed guys And like I said this split could indeed be the best thing for us as guardians But indeed could also be the worst too what people it's gonna be a crazy ride from now into the future and into hopefully Destiny 3 if that happens, let me know your opinions guys on this split I am curious to know what you think and guys I will end with another crazy statement I read today coming from Phil Spencer the head of Xbox in reply to bungee announcing the split He states looking forward to a very bright future working with one of my favorite Independent studios on one of my favorite franchises excited to see how they continue to grow and evolve destiny Now isn't that just interesting people? Let's not forget the history between bungee and Microsoft this partnership in my opinion brought us one of the biggest games in history Opening the door to many other games to come that game was indeed people halo I wonder what force fence actually meant by this tweet will we see a union me personally And I am an Xbox player people as many of you will know and always have been I hate Exclusivity it helps nobody but agree the pockets of publishers and best we leave that shit out But hey, that is just my opinion but guys on that note We have come to the end of the video.
