I'll give you a hint: Bungie How do you know they also affect the outcome of this particular game? In the year that Bungie(producer) launched Destiny, they sent a shortened version of the story of the game via clipped together cutscenes to Activision('publisher'), who promptly refused to publish the game unless they changed the entire campaign of the game(in less than 8 months!) so that one progressed slower through the planets in the game. It hurt the game dramatically, obvious from what enfolded. A bit of an extreme example, but you get my point.
