Microsoft responds to Bungie/Activision deal

With the announcement of today’s ten-year Bungie and Activision deal, it’s no surprise people want to hear what their old partner Microsoft has to say about all of this. So they speak.

“Our partnership with Bungie as a first-party developer for Xbox 360 remains unchanged,” read the statement from Microsoft, “and right now we’re deeply engaged with them on the development of Halo: Reach, which is poised to be the biggest game of 2010.”

The partnership with Activision only meant that they’ll be on the publishing side. Bungie is still an independent studio that is free to do what they desire.
