Re: MS's contol of Bungie?

In Response To: Re: MS's contol of Bungie? (vector40)

: Look, "friend", watch your mouth, or I'll have your ass.

look 'friend', u insulted me in ure earlier post, so i just replied in kind, so it should be YOU who should be watching his mouth.

: WE were talking about Microsoft having a major influence, if not a
: controlling aspect, on Bungie's decision. WE were talking about
: Microsoft's enjoyment of money. Therefore, *I* said that it would be in
: Microsoft's best interest to have Bungie port to the Mac and PC, because
: then THEY will get MONEY. NO MATTER if they make it exclusive, there will
: always be people who will refuse to buy the XBox, and MS will lose their
: business if they don't port.

yes, *you* did say that, but it only helps to show that u didnt fully understand what i was saying in my posts. u see, MS has an almost unlimited amount of money to put into its console, WHY would it care for a few bucks from a game going to PC/MAC? i want u to take a good, hard guess as to why MS bought bungie in the first place..yes, because of halo. they saw how much talk the game generated and needed a killer app to jump start their console in the market. u see, the benifit of an exclusive game is that, if u want to play it, u have to have the platform to support it, just look at GT3, even iv been tempted to get a PS2 for the game. halo's xbox selling power does the only thing that MS wants from it, sells xbox's. k, if u read my previous posts clearly, then u could prolly guess what im gunna say. MS WANTS TO DOMINATE THE CONSOLE MARKET. they dont really care about money, its just a means to get what they want. profit comes after their xbox has taken the industry. k, *if* halo isnt selling well because alot of ppl are waiting to get the PC/MAC version (cuzz itll be better =b), then MS (*if* they had major influence over bungie) *might* decide to make it an xbox exclusive.
u made a point about how " there will always be people who will refuse to buy the XBox". but, tell me, how many of these ppl are there? the ppl who wont buy an xbox even if they wont get a chance at halo are usually die hard console haters or are interested in the competition. there may seem to be many on this board, but only because its composed of longtime bungie fans.

: In any case, this is mostly moot, because I, for one, believe that Bungie has
: nearly complete, if not complete control over what to port. And THEY have
: promised umpty-million times that it WILL come to PC.

if u'll notice from what i have said above (all the astricks and stuff), u will see that this is a very hypothetical discussion, therefore its not really going anywhere, sigh.

: So shut up, and learn a lesson. If you go somewhere to ask for help, it's
: advisable to accept it when it arrives.

to all the other people who replied to my question, i was being as polite as possible (i take it u didnt even bother reading what they wrote), but u, as i stated above, insulted me first and i merely replied in kind.
