That treatment of the vanquished was a great advance in civilized behaviour compared with the methods of Genghis Khan and those of Kublai's contemporaries in Central Asia, where the massacre of the population was still the expected sequel to the capture of a city.

The myth that this was a possibility caused the film to be rendered a flop when it opened to a reasonable $13 million (why would anyone expect a sequel to a half-loved/half-loathed cult film to open higher than the much-anticipated original?).
The deal was, briefly stated, $500 million for four games over 10 years — which sounds reasonable on its face, but the first Destiny had a troubled development and took years to become the game people expected; the sequel infamously was rumored to have been rebooted less than a year and a half before release.
