"BUNGIE DOES NOT ACCEPT IDEAS FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FROM THIRD PARTIES."

What does that mean exactly? To me it sounds like they are saying they wont listen to their fans and incorporate any ideas they have for a game...

If that is true then why the updates and DLC?

If its not true then what is it saying?

If someone had a list of ideas for a game that a ton of fans agreed upon, they would disregard them?

I am just unclear on what is being said exactly so someone please help me out..

Thanks,
-Tech

I'm sure it has to do with some legal thing. I'm sure that if they took direct ideas from one person they would have to make some sort of contract making that person part of the Bungie staff.

They won't make a game out of someone's idea.

They take suggestions for improvements of existing products or future products (take out the pistol, let us use the energy sword, etc). The do not take ideas for stories or games from third parties. The legality of it all is just too much to even consider doing it (the originator might try to sue if Bungie uses their ideas).

They don't accept new idea's from anyone outside the company. Meaning you can make a suggestion about an existing product e.g. "Wouldn't the bridge from halo 2 singleplayer be a cool multiplayer map" but they wont create something new from an outside idea e.g. "wouldn't a game based on giant robots and magical imps be cool".

Giant robots and magical imps!

How did you figure out about Bungies next game? I figured out when I threatened them all at gun point. Did you do the same?

Hi Tech!! I havn't seen you in a while. Yes, this is my first post on this forum (Mostly because I hate the name), and yes, this post does have a point. My point is that giant robots and magical imps would serioulsy roxzors. That is all.

Fluffy, go be off topic somewhere else.. lol.

Ok, Got it now. I do remember seeing bugnie state that anything said ontheir site is rightfully theirs and they can use it if they want.. Something like that...

Throw in some cup cakes and a six pack of A & W Root Beer, and I'll be damned if that game wont sell by the millions.

I'd love a new Bungie game about a space marine cyborg forced by mentally unstable AI's to fight an aincent race of alien slavers and their minions.

It would also really be great if this game could have an AI with a name like Dan, or Dave, or Durandul.

Bungie?

No, the AI should be name Misseee Kitteee. I'd totally buy that game.
