The thing here is that people need to understand. Bungie doesn't know you, Bungie doesn't care about you. They want your money that's it. They run their business by doing what they believe will produce the most profit. A real artist most likely would not care about who publishes their work, only that it gets released. It may or may not work out for them, we will have to wait and see to find out.
Also Oni was great, besides the first Halo that's probably their best game.
