Kotick: Bungie only high quality independent dev left
When Bobby speaks, we're in shock and awe.
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick told investors last week that Bungie is "probably the last remaining high quality independent developer. It's very hard to [pauses]... that has sort of has institutional skills and capabilities. And they're a real company."
Yea, you can close your mouths again now. With these two sentences, dear Mr. Kotick seems to plainly deny the existence of companies out there like Valve, Epic, Gearbox and so on...
It seems Bobby is starting to live in a world where only Activision - who recently struck a 10 year exclusive publishing deal with Bungie - exists. And maybe Microsoft who they got Bungie from:

It seems Bobby is starting to live in a world where only Activision - who recently struck a 10 year exclusive publishing deal with Bungie - exists. And maybe Microsoft who they got Bungie from:
"When they started the process of looking for a new partner, they'd been in business with Microsoft. They had a vision for a product they wanted to create that needed certain skills and capabilities - that Microsoft had some of.
"But as they started to go and look at the obvious candidates, they realised that no company other than Activision had the skills that they needed to be successful for the vision of that product."
I can imagine a CEO stating that a company he's struck a 10 year exclusive deal with is fantastic, but just dismissing the existence of decent competition? Man, I don't even have words for describing that."But as they started to go and look at the obvious candidates, they realised that no company other than Activision had the skills that they needed to be successful for the vision of that product."
