Are you daft?
Read this from your post (quote from kiro followed by your replies):
We percieve MS's ploy to milk the most bucks
: off the Xbox Halo.
Wow, you're quite perceptive. Of course they want to milk the most bucks off of Xbox
Halo. They're in business.
If Halo were released for the Mac/PC sooner, we
: wouldn't give a shit about the Xbox.
What does this have to do with the plans for releasing Halo on PC?
Number 1:
The two quotes back to back there from Kiro's post... are RELATED. That is the point of the whole thing we have been discussing...
Number 2:
In case you have forgotten what that point is...
Kiro's first quote points out that Microsoft intends to milk the most money out of XBox Halo as possible... which you agree with. NOW... we've established that you agree with such... so let's move on to his second quote...
He points out that the only reason SOME of us bought the XBox, was to support Bungie and be able to play the game we have waited so many years for... otherwise...? We wouldn't have bought an XBox or Halo for XBox obviously... if it were available for the Mac/PC.
SO... in conclusion... Microsoft knows this... Microsoft did not put an effort in to develop and release both at the same time, because that would not have sold XBoxes. XBoxes cost more to make than they get back from selling one... so they need to sell GAMES... and to sell games... someone must own the system the games are for in order to buy said games. To get such systems into a persons hands... you need a good reason... and a Million selling hit game launch title... is damn good "bait."
Said "bait" does not work if there is an alternative which others prefer.
Tell me... how many people with Macs and PCs would have bought a Halo copy with XBox that couldn't be played online.... instead of a Mac/PC version that allows you to face off against people on a nightly instead of weekly basis (i.e. 16 talented players at a time... not yer kid sister because she's the only one home and with big enough hands to hold a controller...)???
That is the point being made... that point is correct as far as can be seen... and regardless of the "release date" for Halo on Mac/PC... it is true. Because I and others like me... would not have bought an XBox or Halo when we already have a $2500 gaming machine at home to play it on worldwide.
END OF STORY...
Reply all you want... I've stated my point and used examples of your own conjectures to show you at least half believe in it.
PEACE
PCD
