Good evening. I have some general knowledge of game development, but have a lot to learn.
-[b]Can someone explain to me exactly what Bungie and Activision's relationship is like?[/b]
-[b]What role does Activision play in development, marketing, etc?[/b]
-[b]How much decision making power do they have in the process? If Bungie is independent, what is the benefit with partnering with Activision? [/b]
Sorry if any of those questions are obvious, I just would like to have a better understanding of how this process works.

I don't know the super details of it, but I believe that Activision is literally just publishing the games that they make over the course of ten years. I think Bungie has full creative control, and that we don't need to worry about any influence from Activision. Like I said, I don't know the details, but that's what I think. (From that conference call, it also seems like that Activision is going to be marketing the game.)
