Bungie, the developer of Destiny and creator of the Halo franchise, is taking steps to become a self-publishing game studio. Part of this plan entails a new partnership with NetEase, a major game publisher in China, who has just invested a staggering $100 million dollars into Bungie. Neither company gave specific details as to what this investment will eventually lead to, but Bungie states that they plan to use this as an opportunity to become "an entertainment company that sustains many worlds simultaneously--Destiny and new worlds to come." implying that they'll be working on more games in the future.

Bungie also wants to stress that fact that this won't impact Destiny players, and that the company is still very committed to still creating content and experiences for that franchise.

Ah, the good ol' nothing will change with this investment thing again. It's like the new trend with game companies.

Nothing will change. It is just the nothing that will change is not "we will continue to make games that please our customers" but "as per every other time this happens they will surf us into the ground and pick the corpse clean" that has been the case since time immemorial.

I'm honestly surprised someone would invest that much money in Bungie right now. They aren't exactly in their prime at the moment.

its about $$$ not quality.
