: One of the occupational hazards of this job is that someone will always try
: to twist my words so it looks like I'm saying something else.
: When I said "Jason Jones is still unsure how we're handling the PC
: version," certain people chose to interpret that as me saying Jason
: wasn't sure it would happen at all. No one on this board, naturally. Some
: other board where you have to sit through two pages of ads before you can
: register your account. (Actually it's just one page of ads, but if you
: don't buy anything the first time you see it, they show it to you again
: and shame you for not consuming enough. Might have something to do with
: why I don't post there.)
: I will try to say this again a little more clearly so that no one
: misunderstands.
: We still plan to do a Mac and PC version of Halo, but there are a lot of
: questions that must be answered before we can make the Mac/PC versions
: happen. It's like driving across town to a friend's house. You could take
: the highway, but it's rush hour; maybe it would be better to take side
: streets? Do you have enough gas for the trip, or do you need to make a
: side trip to a gas station? Can you park on his street for free or do you
: need to bring cash for a parking garage? These are all important questions
: that you'll need to answer before you start the trip, and will certainly
: affect the trip itself - but they don't affect the destination. You're
: going to your friend's house one way or another. Unless you live in the
: Puget Sound region, the land which inspired my forthcoming country song,
: "The Roads To Your Heart (Were Built By Competing Logging Firms In
: The Nineteenth Century, And That's Why It Takes Me An Hour To Figure Out
: Where It Is And By The Time I Get There I'm So Pissed Off And Frustrated
: That I Just Turn Around And Go Home)."
: I have asked many questions about the Mac/PC versions in recent days, because
: I want to know what's going on so I can get the "I have confirmation
: it's never coming" wankers off the community's back. I have asked
: people who are in the best position to know what's going on, like Alex and
: Jason. They don't have answers to all the questions yet, and they don't
: want to say anything until all the ducks are in a row, but they know what
: they have to do. If pressed to choose between an "anonymous
: source" referenced by some random guy on a web forum, and two real
: people with names who have confided Bungie secrets to me for years, I'll
: pick the latter. And I cheerfully invite the anonymous sources, if they
: actually exist, to come on over to Bungie HQ and chat with Alex and Jason
: and myself so we can eliminate the communication breakdown.
: I'm running out of ways to rephrase this answer that don't involve swearing.
: Hope this tides you over for a while.
