I'm still kind of trying to noodle through the logic here. I know Jones is excited about the X-box. But how does that lead to an MS buyout? Surely total ownership isn't a requirement for being a launch developer? So, my question is, if money wasn't the issue, what is Bungie getting from Microsoft? Ok, one more. The bit about the choice of platform being Bungie's final say. Do you guys have that in a legal document? In other words, worst case scenario, if MS really did try to control Bungie's decisions where they agreed they wouldn't, would you be able to fend them off?
