: Is this old news? Tuncer said on the latest IMG podcast that Bungie did
: approach Apple before Microsoft bought them, but Apple didn't come around
: until it was too late.

: So... If Bungie had been bought by Apple instead of Microsoft... Do you think
: Halo might have remained at one of those earlier stages it passed in
: utero, and possibly ended up more of a Marathon sequel and less of a
: Marathon spinoff?
Nah. The game had already changed significantly by that point, and would have changed further regardless of who was signing the checks. The biggest change - the one the naysayers harped on about the most, at any rate - was the switch from third-person to first-person, and that happened long before the MS deal.
