Does Microsoft have any kind of ight of first refusal on future Bungie titles?
Brian: We’re not actually allowed to discuss specific details of our contractual relationship with Microsoft, but we certainly have a relationship with them currently. We’re still working together on Halo: Reach and we still have plans to work closely together with Microsoft through the release of Reach and beyond as we support the game online. As far as looking into the future and our next big IP, we did talk to Microsoft as well as some other publishers and, like Joe said, ultimately after all discussions were said and done, Activision was really the only publisher that ultimately met all of the conditions and things that were most important to us. And we get to own the IP, we’re still independent, we have creative control, and Activision brings to the table the ability for us to explore multiple platforms and multiple devices, which, to us, is a very exciting prospect as we look to broaden our audience and share our new universe and stories with as many people as possible.
