Re: Bungie is different
Posted By: vector40 <vector40@aol.com>Date: 11/29/01 7:02 p.m.

In Response To: Bungie is different (Anonymous Rex)

: I'm not trying to sell philosophy out of a paper bag here. What I'm trying to
: say is really quite simple: Bungie has created a more intimate
: relationship with its fans and that is one of the reasons it has become as
: successful as it now is. The nature of that relationship stipulates an
: honestly I found lacking between what I heard and read about the game
: prior to its release and what I have sitting in my living room now. That
: discrepancy is, in my mind, exacerbated by the fact I had to wait 2 years
: and pay $700 to enjoy it (or 2.5/3 years and $70 for the other option).

I happen to disagree. I think Bungie's success (which, admittedly, is rather slight — compared to companies like Blizzard, if Bungie didn't have MS to fall back on, I think they'd find themselves often in dire financial straits) is more than anything dependant on making damn good games. Well, that and the rather wise merger. Do you really think people buy their games because they're cool? Maybe a few. Us die-hard fans. But that's not terribly many, and most people buy the stuff (thus contributing to their success) because... Bungie can make games.
