Bungie asked not to consider Activision a tyrant
Bungie Studio refused to consider Activision a tyrant. Leaving the publisher was only a consequence of creative differences, said Bungie Communications director David Dague.
Destiny 2
Bungie and Activision launched Destiny together, writes VG247.
In those years, the companies shared the same vision. But over time, they began to see the future of the franchise differently. As follows from the words of Doug, this is an absolutely normal phenomenon.
We would like to dispel the stereotype that Activision is a kind of feudal lord who allegedly forbids everything and does not allow creating amazing things.

The veteran of the studio stressed that Bungie parted with Activision amicably. Nevertheless, on the day of the breakup, Destiny developers opened champagne. According to rumors, Bungie was not satisfied that the publisher forced her to launch large projects once a year. And Activision was not satisfied with the financial performance of Destiny 2 and the low sales of the Forsaken add-on.
Recall that Bungie left the publisher at the beginning of the year. All rights to IP Destiny, in which Activision invested $ 500 million, went to the developer. He still continues to create content for Destiny 2.
