Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Bungie is still privately owned, but if they ever went public, I'd jump on the stock immediately.
Depends on what their stock price started at. Just because we enjoy Bungie's product, doesn't mean they would make a good company to invest in. Especially in an industry as volatile as the gaming industry.Many people buy stocks for sentimental value rather than moneymaking purposes. Taking part in the ownership of a company you really like on an emotional level is one of the few pleasures in the corporate equity industry, because it no longer seems like "work" or some stressful situation that you have to keep track of. Rather, it is you purchasing a corporation so that you can feel a bit of paternal pride for that corporation's achievements.
Owners of "sentimental" stock rarely sell it because it makes absolutely no difference to them whether the stock is up or down -- merely what the company does as a whole. Then, when the company does something great, you can take some small measure of pride in being a part owner of that company through your ownership of a small piece of it.
I would buy Bungie stock in a heartbeat if the company ever became publicly traded, and I would do it for sentimental rather than moneymaking reasons. But I do not believe that an initial public offering is anywhere in the foreseeable future.
Hmm, never settling for just one option, I'd be apt to do both...make money and keep a share or two for the happiness factor.
