i heard another rumor, a very disturbing rumor. Microsoft were paying bungie a heap of cash not to put link up in. think about it, imagine how much money they would make off Xbox live. this is far fetched. but a warning to microsoft, if this is true there will be cars tipped over and buildings burned. what do u guys think?
That doesn't make much sense for Microsoft. That'd be like Comcast or another major internet provider trying to stop Linksys from making hubs for private networks, but pushing them to make routers that work with their broadband modems.
LAN networking doesn't take money from internet play. If this were true, consoles wouldn't have any form of internet access such as XBL or PlayOnline, because it'd be cheaper and wiser to make LAN adapters and leave it at that. However, there's a lot of money to be made by making an online service for a console, regardless of LAN playability. So... =)
