Kotick: Blizzard's online skills sealed the Bungie deal
News - Blizzard got the mad skills
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has said that Bungie had no choice but to sign a publishing deal with Activision for their new IP.
Kotick told the Bank of America Merril Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference that they were the only company with the skills that Bungie needed.
The outspoken Activision CEO said: "When [Bungie] started the process of looking for a new partner, they had a vision for a kind of product they wanted to create that needed certain skills and capabilities that Microsoft had some of."
He added: "But as they started to look at the obvious candidates, they realised that no company other than Activision had the skills they needed to be successful for the vision for that product."Thanks GameSpot.
