They try to help out indie developers, and all of a sudden they are power-hungry, money crazy beasts. Disgusting. You know who you are.

I think people are being a little mean-spirited and reeling from being disappointed by something that doesn't apply directly to them.

However, I feel a tad turned off by this likely-tongue-in-cheek quote from the Aerospace update:
The ultimate goal of Bungie Aerospace is to help independent developers create and showcase their games. That's the bar. Unless you also count the giant pile of cash we're all hoping to swim around in, but that seems really materialistic.

So I take it that that's where these angry peons are getting their fuel from.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Wait what?

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I am in no way angry, Bungie made an extremely smart business move. I just don't care for the news that's all.

...So you're mad because they intend to make money? Also, they were making a joke. It was meant to be funny.

May 11 will be known as Halo 2 Day for me from now on.

Well Ive been in the Navy since June 25, 2009 and its a fun job right now.

How can you be angry... Bungie is a business and they made a really smart business move... nothing wrong there...

1. I'm not mad, silly.
2. I'm a Design Director at an Indie team: this is awesome news for me.
3. I said it was tongue-in-cheek (as in they intended it to be funny)
4. I was saying that I felt was a little inappropriate, even if it was a joke.
5. I was outlining that was likely the source quote for other peoples' outcries.

I am not mad. The news of Aerospace was exciting, but most ignored it, or completely overlooked it due to the Swag Bag craze. As the dust settles, people will realize Bungie is offering a great service to people willing to make great games.

I think some people are just a little irked that Aerospace wasn't Bungie's new IP, and so they're looking in every nook and cranny to pick it apart and claim it's a bad idea. Even though there was plenty of evidence that Aerospace wasn't going to be a their new universe, people still got their hopes up.

Yeah ... even after Bungie spesifically said that they're not going to reveal their new IP a lot of people got disappointed that Aerospace was not their new IP ... >.>
