Well, this isn't exactly a question, per se. It's more of a pledge.

As long as you guys develop great Mac games, I will stand by you guys.

There's been a lot of hysteria, and some reactions that I think were way overboard (*cough cough* The Mill *cough cough*). Some people have pledged not to buy your games ever again. Some accuse you of being a sellout.

Me, I believe that you guys know what's in your interest, and that you won't throw away the fan base with something stupid like making Halo X-Box only. I know you guys retain complete control of what platforms your games come out on... But I remember Doug Zartman's comment about the buyout that was suspiciously similar to what Jason Jones is saying about Halo showing up on the Mac, so until you guys come right out and say it I'll have to just rely on my Faith (tm).

But, like I said... I for one am not abandoning you guys now. And I wish you guys the best of luck.

Oh, and could you point your mind control ray at FM and get him to re-open the Mill? That's what I'm most worried about... Or maybe you guys could buy The Mill off him and incorporate it into bungie.net?

I'll wait for the FAQ and letter before I ask questions...
