Do you think 10 years from now Bungie will be a self publisher?
With all the revenue that Bungie's new IP will garner, do you think that once Bungie's contract with Activision is up that they will publish all future titles under the Bungie/Aerospace banner?
It's tough to see what the gaming landscape will be like in a decade, but I hope that Bungie has the fore thought to break the publisher developer cycle. After all what is a publisher but a source of funding and advertising. Somthing I believe that if Bungie plays their cards right could accomplish.

I think you said it yourself really. We don't know what the gaming landscape will look like in 10 years time, we might find that digital distribution becomes the way games are consumed by the majority and that physical copies become more of a memento or collectors items. In that case it might be cheaper to publish games and therefore be easier for Bungie to achieve. Plus their aim is to take over the world so that does seem like a good place to start! However I do think that Bungie's main focus seems to be on making the best games possible so I'm not sure they'd invest in publishing if it was at the detriment to the time/ money they could invest in their games. So I think maybe not the next 10, but perhaps the next 15/20 years.
