Halo creators Bungie may have signed a publishing deal with Activision, but letâs not forget, thereâs always the possibility they can sign with rivals Electronic Arts as well.

âI donât want to see them fail â I want them to be successfulâ, EAâs David DeMartini told CVG. âAnd when they start up a second team, weâll have other discussions with them about that game as well â because theyâre a great studio. There are probably only 20 studios in the world that are that highest level â and theyâre certainly one of them.â
Sounds like desperation on the part of EA, but Iâd hope that if Bungie learned one thing from its departure from Microsoft, itâs that saddling up with a single publisher for the long term can be a risky proposition. After all, the Bungie that signed the initial pre-Halo deal with Microsoft was a different Bungie to the one releasing Halo: Reach, and youâd think in ten yearâs time theyâll be different again.
