: But just because
: the-legal-entity-currently-known-as-Bungie can't claim to have developed
: those games, doesn't change the fact that those games were published under
: the name Bungie.
It occurs to me that there's a mirror of this with regard to Halo and Destiny. One could very well make the argument that those games were not developed by the same company as developed Gnop!/ODS/Minotaur/PiD/Marathon/Myth/Oni, because one of the two founders and a bunch of other people left when Microsoft bought them (and almost none of the rest stayed through to the current Bungie's independence). With the exception of Jason, the company that made Destiny is not the same company that made PiD. And with the exception of Alex, the company that made Gnop! is not the same company that made Myth.
So you can picture something like a Feynman diagram, of Alex and Jason's interaction. The time that they were together is the defining period of Bungieness. The Bungie name came into that interaction from Alex, and then left that interaction with Jason, and things made under the Bungie name before or after that period of interaction might be questionably Bungie depending on your perspective on what constitutes the real Bungie, but pre-Jason and post-Alex titles were still nevertheless released under the Bungie name one way or another.
