Re: to err is marketing; to forgive, public relati

In Response To: to err is marketing; to forgive, public relations (Narcogen)

: Well... that's debatable.

And hurray for that!

: For those of us who firmly believe in Bungie's intent AND ability to follow
: through on their promise to deliver Halo to the Mac and PC, this situation
: of being "out of sync" should be understood.

: I think like most people in that category, when I saw the Shacknews article
: that was my first thought.

Well, my first thought was, "This seems like an infor- hey, look at the squirrel," which just goes to show you that I need more medicine for my attention defi- WOW! THIS SONG ROCKS!

: However, no matt much I or anyone else believes in Bungie's intent and
: ability, it is still *plausible*, in theory, that a large company might
: change direction and override the judgment of those in subordinate
: positions. It's happened before.

I don't believe you! Companies that are big are inherently trustworthy and stuff.

: However unlikely, it's theoretically possible that Mac/PC Halo *could"
: have been cancelled at virtually any time since the purchase, and I'd put
: money on it being considered internally at least once since then, perhaps
: twice.

Basically, I disagree with you on this point, mostly because I disagree with you most of the time, but also because I believe the actual number of times they've considered it is pi, which means that they'll never stop considering it as pi goes on forever.

: Basically, there are a lot more (justifiably) skeptical would-be fans out
: there on the forums than there are employees in MS PR & Marketing.
: Easier for them to stay on the ball than it is to convince everyone that
: Matt's infallible and DiCesar ill-informed.

That's debateable. Microsoft's PR and Marketing department is bloated and consists of thousands of people and the millions of minions they unknowingly control.

: Of course, that is, until Halo is released on the Mac and PC, which makes the
: latter infinitely easier. :)

Actually, I think people like Stagnant would still refuse to believe it was out.
