Wonder what kind of cash money was put towards this thing. I hope it pays off for Bungie.

Who am I kidding, yea it will lol.
“The potential is huge,” Hirshberg told IGN. “It’s a sizeable investment. It’s probably one of the biggest investments in a new IP that’s ever been made in this industry. We wouldn’t be making that investment if we didn’t believe in the potential.
“There are certain mechanics in this industry that people want to be able to pick up and play and immediately be having fun with,” Hirshberg continued. “At the end of the day, it’s a first-person shooter by Bungie. Everyone who loved Halo is going to love Destiny.
“They’re very different games made by very different creative visionaries,” Hirshberg said. “I think that they can peacefully coexist with one another. I think that what Call of Duty has done, it’s done better than anybody. The multiplayer is a visceral, impactful, white-knuckle-ride experience. What Bungie has done, they have done better than anyone as well. The first-person shooter genre has shown tremendous staying power, as well as tremendous capacity in terms of the appetite people have for it. I think what we’ve seen is that if there are good games in this genre, people will show up to play them. But if you have to compete, it’s nice to compete with yourself.”
