Activision boss Bobby Kotick - no stranger to pissing everyone off - has said he believes that Halo developer Bungie is the "last remaining high-quality independent developer".

"Bungie are a very unusual company," Kotick told the America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications, and Entertainment conference. "They're probably the last remaining high-quality independent developer...that has sort of has institutional skills and capabilities. And they're a real company."

Companies such as Valve and Gearbox may have a thing or two to say about that Bobby.
