But Microsoft is with them , if Microsoft says no , then bungie doesnt make the game for them. -XSAVAGE
Microsoft owns Bungie and Bungie must does what Microsoft tells them to do. But how well Bungie makes the game is up them. Microsoft would have forced Bungie to finally come up with a release date for Halo 2 (even though they were giving Bungie all time they needed... eventually they would have to force them after so long), and for all we know, Microsoft probably did force them to make a release date, AND Microsoft probably picked the release for them or, perhaps, worked out the release with Bungie.
EDIT: Oh yes, did I mention that Microsoft is greedy and a bit evil as well (and, well, I'm evil too... but not nasty evil like Microsoft). So anyway, I used to not really think so bad about Microsoft UNTIL they ditched the developers who are behind the Oddworld series (perhaps you've heard?). So yeah, Micro[color=green]$[/color]oft didn't make all the [color=green]money[/color] that they wanted so they cut the string on them and some other guys like, say for instance Blinx and other platformers. Trust me.
So anywho, Stranger, by Oddworld Inhabitants, was originally going to be an Xbox only title UNTIL... well... you know. But Microsoft did at least say that they did want Stranger on their [color=green]$[/color]y[color=green]$[/color]tem and would at least help them to find another publihser. So the creative developers at Oddworld Inhabitants went searching and finally found one true hero, like abe. Their name? Electronic Arts! An unlikely publisher... just like Abe was an unlikely hero. And like Abe, I still have a scar from what Microsoft did . Thanks a lot Micro[color=green]$[/color]ft!
cheers,
