Bungie Signs 10-Year Deal With Activision 85
An anonymous reader writes "Infinity Ward may be suing Activision under allegations of low payment and no royalties, but it seems some developers are still happy to work with the publisher — it has just signed a 10-year deal with Bungie, the studio behind the popular Halo series of FPS games. Activision will publish all of Bungie's games in the next decade — although Bungie will own the IP. The terms of the deal are similar to those brokered by former Infinity Ward chiefs Jason West and Vince Zampella when they signed with EA after being fired in March."

10 years? that must be a huge chunk of change and little regret toward the future. Halo has already been fairly simple so they don't have much to lose tech wise.
great idea. (Score:1, Interesting)
all this means is that bungie won't have to gamble with their own money, just Activision's.
they still retain the IP, which means they won't make anything they don't want to.
smart on their part.

They've released a few big time games with no DRM (Dragon Age being the most notable). They are well on their way.
