Re: the only problem with that...

In Response To: Re: the only problem with that... (Miguel Chavez)

: I'm not sure I understand if you're complaining or not. At first I think you
: are and then at the end it seems like you're not. :)

No, i'm not complaining... I wish I had news about these projects in hand, but I also wish that announcements (in general) were closer to real release dates. I get the perception that Bungie's following that track, so if we get an announcement this week, the game itself probably won't be TOO far behind. (Halo mac/pc = 11 months, which was probably announced earlier than they would have liked to stave off the angry mobs of people who want it).

So if I had to choose, the current no-news policy is what I'd prefer, if it means a shorter announce-to-release time.

: When I see a picture of Jason Jones arriving to work in a stretch limousine,
: or even a HUMVEE, I'd consider that possibility. If you saw the attire the
: guys had at E3, I don't think we can start pointing the "OMG GREEDY
: MONEYBAGS!" finger at them yet. :)

You mentioned game companies in general, and selling out undoubtedly applies to some of them. Mostly I just like that cartoon a lot. "Fat sacks of cash money" is a phrase has entered the lexicon (well, my lexicon anyway).

Personally I don't begrudge Bungie getting rich at all. They've certainly more than earned *my* money. In terms of hours of entertainment per dollar, Bungie games are probably some of the best purchases I've ever made.
