So the Sony fanboys were right. Bungie's next game would come to PS3. I mean, sure it was just wishful thinking, but it actually became accurate.
Infinity Ward = pwned. Their situation will no longer matter. Someone finally steps up the publisher trying to destroy gaming and people start to back up IW, and then Bungie signs a 10 year agreement with them.
I no longer have a reason to own an Xbox. I used to play fighters, RPGs and Halo (the only FPS I liked)
I think the only WTF move left now is Microsoft announcing at E3 that Polyphony Digital has infact been developing GT5 for 360 and this whole time PD has been a first party studio to Microsoft. Either that or the next Zelda is exclusive to Playstation.

"The situation won't matter"? Sure it will. People won't blindly follow Bungie regardless of what they do. This thread and the disappointed people in it are proof of that.
Bungie may make a great game for Activision, but I'm not buying it if Kotick is in charge. It could be better than OoT but I have principles and I'm not going to compromise them. No single game can't be lived without.
I'm not saying people are going to follow Bungie, what I'm saying is the talk of the media is just going to focus around Bungie and Activision's partnership whereas before it was all about IW/Respawn Entertainment.
Oh no, the IW versus Activision story is far from finished. They are going to be mired in lawsuits for ages, and if you think IW vs Acti isn't a hot enough topic to overcome Bungie merely signing with them (no follow-up stories like lawsuits and counter-suits), you are mistaken. Picking up Bungie at this point isn't good press for them, it's bad press for Bungie. Gamers aren't going to say "Hey dude, they picked up Bungie, that means they care about gamers and want to make quality games!", they are saying, "Wow, Bungie signed a deal with the devil and will now make half-finished multiplat games in annual installments". It's clear to anyone paying attention that it's Bungie's ability to make money that Activision is interested in, not their ability to make quality games. Too bad Kotick doesn't realize that the two go hand in hand. Luckily he doesn't care if he grinds franchises right into the ground since it's all just numbers to him. Who gives a crap if Blizzard ends up as a mockery of a company, as long as he makes his cut from Starcraft, Diablo and WoW. I really dislike Activision. Their business practices and clear contempt for gamers and the industry is a slap in the face, and anyone with self-respect should stop giving them money for overhyped nonsense.
