Uh. You don't know what options Bungie had. They weren't going to go with Microsoft, because Microsoft took Halo from them and they didn't want to make that game anymore, anyway. At least with Activision, according to their contract, Bungie will ALWAYS own every asset related to Destiny. Do you people even know how game development works? No funds, no game. Signing a contract meant funding, and they wanted to make their game. Who else were they going to partner with? EA? THQ? Which doesn't even exist anymore? There aren't a lot of options, when you're a developer that has limited funds and no publisher. People on this forum need to develop their common sense.
