That's pretty much the worst case scenario, if they did, you could pretty much kiss Myth goodbye for real. While there is a .001% chance Take 2 will do something with it, there is less of a chance Activision will. They don't support franchises that don't break multimillions with each release. They basically just work on WoW, CoD and Skylanders these days.Zeph wrote:Activison looking to buy Take-Two ?

Darth is just imagining. Neither Bungie nor Activision own the rights to Myth, but Bungie and Activision are currently working together. The situation is nothing like when Bungie traded their stake in Myth to TakeTwo so Bungie could work with MicroSoft.juliocpaes wrote:- the activision ?!!! really ?!!!DarthRevan555 wrote:Or maybe Activision will pull another take2 and make a myth 4 and pretty much repeat what happened to myth 3

Companies like to hold an IP catalogue even if they don't intend to do anything with it. It elevates the value of the company which results in a higher share price and better debt management options.Jon God wrote:Take 2 also likes to mine IPs they have from time to time. The last one they mined was X-Com which got a fantastic reboot, which is faithful to the original in style, difficulty and gameplay, and was quite successful.
It wouldn't surprise me if one day they made a new Myth, but you'd really need the right team for it.
I think Bungie asked for that disclaimer.vinylrake wrote:Mariusnet used to have a disclaimer that displayed when you logged on that said something to the effect of "This is not Bungie.net, do not call Bungie for support" and people would joke about how stupid it was that everyone knew the marius game server wasn't bungie, but I am sure it was there for a reason - even years after Bungie stopped running a Myth gameserver some people who got online to play assumed the server was being run/sponsored by Bungie. I have to think that any game released with a credit 'licensed from TakeTwo Interactive' is going to result in at least some people contacting TakeTwo if they have problems.
