Re: Frightful news out of Redmond

In Response To: Re: Frightful news out of Redmond (can't say)

:/

I guess Bungie is going back on their word about making all their games for as many platforms as possible. But as we all should know it's not possible. For some reason, it's just not the same anymore. But that dosen't mean I won't but a mac version of Halo, if i ever still intrested anymore.

but actally in a way, Bungie sorta told a half truth. They said they could decide what platforms their games will be for, BUT, as you said that apart of the deal was that Halo is x-box only.

hmmm, I wish that Bungie would stop confusing me and just tell what is going to really happen.

here's a conspircy theory....

MS likes how bungie does their PR and marketing, along with Halo. So apart of the deal could have been they get to work on the x-box and lots of money, for Halo and *their fans*. So rather than just saying "Were with MS and were gonna make Halo for the x-box, and i dunno (or care mabye) about a mac pc version, so your either with us or not". They told half lies, because they know they would lose alot of their fans if they said take it or leave it.

but i'm sure Bungie won't say another damn word about the buyout any more. Possibly because there's more than we know. Seriosuly, they would sell their company to work for a company that in the past didn't like very much?

Mabye they realized that if it dosen't make dollars it dosen't make sense? AND they are trying to make this community to make sense.

"The number 7 controls the immortals, they come out of portals demanding your soul. The melody of a felony fall short."

but don't think i actaully think i really think i'm right, i'm just trying to examin the situation. Other opions would be cool.
