| Bungie's role in Halogen shutdown | |
| Posted By: Narcogen <narcogen@rampancy.net> | Date: 10/4/06 12:22 a.m. |
In Response To: Bungie didn't shut them down. (58) : Microsoft did--there's a rather sizable difference. Microsoft was going to, and Bungie asked to deliver the message themselves. The actual contact was with Bungie, but the decision came from Microsoft. Ironically, while Bungie asking Microsoft for permission to do that was most definitely the right decision, and I think did affect the attitude of most (if not all) of the Slipstream Productions team, it has ironically hurt Bungie in front of the vocal minority of fans of the Halogen mod, who seem to have magically multiplied in the short time since the project's retooling as an original property. It seems strange, however, that while the developers themselves are still working on the mod as an original property, all the so-called Halogen Fans are ignoring that entirely, pretending the entire project has been cancelled (when it hasn't) and threatening ridiculous things like boycotting Halo Wars. If Bungie had stayed out of the entire thing, and let Microsoft be the bad guys, the guys at Slipstream might have been more bent out of shape, but the rest of the community would probably have just let it slide, since most of them don't really expect Microsoft to behave any differently than that anyway. It's a shame people can't be more appreciative of how responsive to the community Bungie tried to be-- but simply cannot be expected to be under the circumstances-- and how they are more interested in bashing Halo Wars for imagined infringement's on Slipstream's already infringing mod, rather than getting behind them releasing an original mod. What I fear most now is that Slipstream will finish their original mod, and no matter how good it is, not as many people will play it, because it's no longer Halo. But that should just reveal to everyone that it was only getting attention in the first place because it was a Halo mod. And Slipstream doesn't own Halo. Microsoft does. | |
