Re: I'm going to come to your house... and BLAM.
Posted By: Gromit <gromit59@mac.com>Date: 7/4/02 1:11 p.m.

In Response To: I'm going to come to your house... and BLAM. (vector40)

From the article I linked in my original post (and again at the end of this one):

"Seropian cites the ability to get into Xbox development early as prime motivation to make this deal with Microsoft now rather than later. As part of Microsoft, Bungie's programmers can be a formative influence on how the game console is crafted, and Bungie Software believes Xbox will dominate the next generation of video game consoles. 'That's the reason we're moving out to Redmond. It's so Jason [Jones, Halo's project lead] can work with the team that's developing the Xbox.'"

There were other articles around the time of the buyout that described their motivations in very similar terms, but, sadly, I don't have links to those.

I feel the need to reiterate that I'm not harping on this matter to support anyone's anti-Bungie rants, but due to my belief that misinformation can only be harmful to discourse.
