There is no "sole owner." Bungie was bought by Microsoft after the new hawtness.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

weggie is correct. The entity Microsoft corporation is the sole owner of Bungie Studios. That, in turn, means that Microsoft's shareholders indirectly own Bungie. Because I am a Microsoft shareholder, that generally means that I'm the boss around here.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

So no ONE person is the owner? Well who is the Main Guy? You know the head honcho if you will.

Alex Seropian was the president, but I think he left recently. Not sure.

Before Alex Seropian left for Wideload, it would've been a two-way split between him and Jason Jones, as the founders of the company. Jason is still here, obviously...I think he's the Project Lead nowadays, or at least he was for Halo 2.

At any rate, Jason isn't exactly popularly-recognized as the studio head, although he's been at Bungie since before there was a Bungie. My guess is that, as far as administrative roles go, Harold Ryan would most likely be closest to the flag-bearing pinnacle of the Bungie hierarchy anymore.

I was just wondering who the sole owner of Bungie Studios is. I tried googling but, didn't have enough patience. Plus it was giving me a bunch of crap. Anyone know the answer to this question?
