So here's an interesting question. I've noticed that some long-time Community members are pretty well-split on this issue, so I'm certainly not accusing anyone of being stupid or grammatically imperfect. But is Bungie a plural or singular? In other words, when you say that the company is or does something, do you say:
"Bungie is making Halo 3"? (singular)
or
"Bungie are making Halo 3"? (plural)
In the same vein, would you say:
"Bungie does not have enough hot dogs"? (singular)
or
"Bungie do not have enough hot dogs"? (plural)
You get my drift. Which do you use and why?
I'll start this one out by saying that I believe that the singular is the correct form. "Bungie" can be substituted with "the Company" or "the developer," and as a corporate entity, Bungie is just one "person" in the legal sense of that word.
Don't get me wrong; can totally see the use of the plural, as you could substitute "Bungie" with "Achronos, Frankie, Luke, Sketch, etc." or "the game studios," but I think that if you had to choose one or the other, the singular would be more appropriate.
Opinions? Let us all work together to solve this grammatical enigma!
