Re: :-( x 1,000,000,000

In Response To: Re: :-( x 1,000,000,000 (Narcogen)


: A lot of longtime fans, myself included, thought it was highly likely that
: Bungie really didn't know what they were getting into when they were
: acquired by Microsoft.

: To some extent that may have been true, but I think it's also inarguable that
: the studio survived and prospered. To what extent it remained what it was
: is debatable, but that very fact is encouraging in itself-- it might have
: transpired that the entire studio was so altered as to have been
: unrecognizable by all its fans, and that clearly hasn't happened.

: Many of us-- myself included-- may also be feeling again as if Bungie is
: sticking its head into the lion's mouth-- just a different lion.

: It may be worth wondering whether now, like then, Bungie knows at least one
: thing about the situation that we don't. At the very least this isn't
: being described as an acquisition, but rather a partnership. Although it
: would seem clear enough from the use of the word "exclusive"
: that things might hit the fan if anybody catches Ryan talking to another
: publisher anywhere in public for the next ten years.

Well sure Bungie was owned by Microsoft for a long while there, and sure there were some bumps and bruises and dramas between that time and 2007, but Microsoft did bring us the Xbox, and with it a lot of really good games showed up. I've really enjoyed my Xbox and 360.

But my focus is Bungie and what Bungie is doing with their games. This Activision thing looks like one big joke to me, what with everyone at Infinity Ward quitting, the CEO of Activision stepping down yesterday (or was he fired? I don't remember), and now this. So I'll probably be paying little attention to the Activision situation unless they royally screw with the fan community and, in turn, Bungie. So long as Bungie is essentially left to their own devices and continues to make top quality games that are fun and engaging, all will be well. :D
