They are no longer going to be any form of independent from Sony/PlayStation anymore. The Final Shape's sales were never going to be able to prevent this from happening, says Jeff Grubb on his morning news show (paraphrased).

Get bent, Bungie. You deleted content I paid for, you get what you deserve. Bungie now is not the Bungie I loved. They got rid of and mistreated the people that were important to the magic of Halo, Myth, Marathon, and others.

I knew from the moment Sony announced Bungie was "independent," that what it actually meant was "we are going to absorb them later, just not right now."

Bungie vowed when they left Microsoft to self publish all their games. They vowed to never be "owned" by another company again. Funny, they haven't self-published a single game since they made Myth II Soulblighter. Which, almost prophetically, initially launched with a bug so grievous that if you installed the game into any other directory than the default one, any attempt to uninstall the game would delete the contents of your entire hard drive, including all system necessary files. Everything. The recall was so bad that it almost bankrupted the company.
