> Have to wonder if MS thought they would get Bungie as part of the package. So much of the drama in the Activision publishing contract on Destiny was that Activision intentionally got none of the IP. Bungie blamed the brutal expansion pack cadence and expansion pack prices on Activision covering their bases because they didn't have a stake as publisher in the IP. Which is probably true, but one of those "it takes two to tango" type things. Bungie had a real nasty public break up with Activision just before Destiny 2 went free-to-play (and supposedly it is part of how they were able to get it free-to-play). I'm sure Microsoft knew buying Activision would not give them any of Destiny or Bungie.
