Don't blame Stosh, blame Microsoft.
oh MS made us oh big mean MS oh poor bungie
grow a backbone bungie
arnt you guys sick of being MS's little lap dog?
I think you need to update your conceptions about how the modern game industry works, in particular consoles and xbox specifically.
Rule 1 - the publisher controls everything. Everything. If they say jump, the developer asks how high.
Rule 2 - Microsoft ,as the owner of the platform and online service, in turn mandates to the publisher.
And in the case of bungie and halo games, MS is the publisher too. You're pretty naive if you think bungie is able to call any shots.
It's not hard to see what happened here. MS said this game is going to be full price, slam a little more content in there. I'm not saying I like it, or that bungie would gladly do all this and more for free given the chance... but you seem to have an odd view of how things work.
so youre saying the dev that pretty much single handedly keeps the entire platfrom afloat...the one that is independent and could make a multi platform game if they choose...effectively destroying the xbox brand...has no sway with MS
im sorry im not buying it
