While perhaps not seen in the full context of his talk at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch conference, Activision head Bobby Kotick's comments about Bungie did create quite a stir last week.


It is worth your time to go listen to the full 40-minute or so talk here, but the thing that captured so much attention during that talk at the 2010 Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference was this single sentiment:

"Bungie are a very unusual company. They're probably the last remaining high quality independent developer."


Among those bothered by Kotick's talk was former Bungie executive vice president, and current president of Atomic Games, Peter Tamte. He sent Kotaku this Letter to the Editor which, as we've done sometimes in the past, we're running here in its entirety.
