Re: Who owns the game engine?

In Response To: Who owns the game engine? (GrimBrother One) : Does that stay with Bungie, or is 343i/MGS free to build upon it? : Grim Much of the work that went into the Halo engine was done while Bungie were still wholly owned by MS. Often, anything an employee produces while on the contract of a company is owned by the company. The 'Reach' engine was also done under a contract with MS. So I could see, at the very least, MS having a licence on that engine to make derivative works as they please. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to do much with their Halo games!
