Re: Right but... | |

In Response To: Re: Right but... (Sep7imus [subnova]) : Well, I think that what the Bungie people (if not Bungie as an entity) could : do was threaten to leave. MS could continue to own Bungie, but if everyone : important involved with it left (which they could probably do : individually) it wouldn't really be worth much. So, that's where they got : their "agency." I think at the same time, Microsoft might be gambling with the idea that Bungie has hit their apex. Looking at MS's track record with Rare, Fasa, etc., they may think they're letting Bungie go gracefully and with dignity, when in their minds, it might be downhill from here. (plus, the bad press of Bungie being dissolved like FASA wouldn't help sell Halo, would it? ... I understand how bad a comparison it is, but still) If MS felt Bungie had something as radically amazing as Halo, wouldn't they fight harder to hold on to it? Maybe Microsoft didn't have faith in Bungie's, or Bungie's fans' abilities to move on. I don't think it'd be the first time Microsoft grossly underestimated something. I could be just talking out of my rear, though.
