Activision and Bungie Split: What does it mean for Destiny and the Gaming Industry

#3. More Studios becoming Independent.

Gaming publishers tend to be a little toxic these days, the likes of microtransactions, paid dlcs, and service-based titles lurk in the minds of almost every publisher because this brings in a lot of money.

The biggest victim of this is one of the most beloved gaming company- Bethesda with their recent release Fallout 76.

Now, it's the game developers who are being accused of the problems caused by their publishers which the community is now realising.

Assumingly, for the most part, it wasn't the fault of BGS(Bethesda Game Studio) that Fallout 76 failed to meet the fans expectation or to begin with even exists because BGS really wanted to make something like that

Bethesda Game Studios is one of the best gaming developers around and their games have consecutively won the GOTY awards in 2006, 2008 and in 2011.

It is highly unlikely that Fallout 76 was their mistake, rather it was of Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media which either force them to make that game or didn't provide them with enough time and resources to polish out the contents, or both.

Same goes for Kojima and Konami fiasco a few years back which is considered one of the most shocking splits in the modern gaming industry.

If that wasn't enough, Bioware-The EA based studio which was once regarded as the fan favourites with the likes of classic RPGs such as Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect Trilogy etc ended up making a very buggy mess called Mass Effect Andromeda and has been probably forced to invest their time and resources in an always online shared world shooter Anthem just because EA thinks that single player games don't work anymore?

With Bungie splitting up with Activision, its high time other talented studios do the same and make passionate projects which they actually want to make.

Who knows the next major split we hear about is Bioware becoming independent and gaining full control of Mass Effect and Dragon Age series? Here's hoping that is sooner than later.
