I'm probably blind and/or didn't read any new rules referencing Bungie Aerospace, but that aside here is my question:

What does the community think about the news about Bungie Aerospace and what it actually is, now that we know?

Are you disappointed about the news and if so why?

Do you understand what this is allowing newer developers to accomplish?

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Don't you have binoculars up in that tower of yours? :)

Quite a few of the vocal minority are quite pissed about it and have been raging. Especially in the Reach forum. Seems like it is a cool move in my opinion.

Haha I haven't been around the forums in a bit and didn't see any posts about it in the community forums. I just got off a midshift mind you and am in a minor state of delirium as well. I think it's a great move and welcome it.

I'm disappointed because I don't care about casual gaming, of which Bungie Aerospace is a celebration. That's about it, really.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

I was underwhelmed... but also happy Bungie is doing this for the little companies out there that need a publisher for the handheld gaming world.

In order to dominate the world, you need to have something for everybody. You might not like casual gaming, but look a Farmville maker Zynga. They just filed their IPO and they have a market cap in the range of EA and Activision.

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.

I think Aerospace is a great move for Bungie... The few people that are made was that they had their hopes up that it was going to be something awesome new game or something like that... I just think that it will be a good business move by Bungie...

Dianna Agron is the epitome of perfection.

Quinntology.

While I read over the front page story about it, and the accompanying press release, I can't help but feel a little betrayed. You're telling me that after all this hide and seek, all of this "Ohhhhh, Aerospace sounds like a fantastic title", that it's simply a way to get independent mobile developers on the map? I'm sorry if I sound bit shallow and a lot like a dick here, but why do I care? Mobile gaming is fun, I'm not going to deny that. But you can't play them consistently, nor can a phone do what a console or PC can. Therefore, they will never have a real place in the gaming world. I work in Best Buy mobile so I work with phones and tablets and such. Yeah, there are a few good games that customers always want, but generally those disappear after a few months. Sure, Angry Birds is played by more people than the amount of people with growing discontent about Obama, but once you beat it, that's it. There's no replay value, there's no multiplayer. And part of the reason it's so popular is because it's free on Android devices. Now, if these games like "Crimson" are free and are good mobile games, than I may turn my scrutiny down a bit. But seriously. After all the hype, this is what you give us?

Bungie Aerospace wasn't what I expected at all but I am no disapointed. I thnk its a cool idea.

If a Grunt has a sticky stuck to his head, and no one is around to see or hear it, does it still run in circles screaming,"Get it off, Get it off !"?

Developers have to start somewhere. In this day and age, mobile is a great place to do so, and Bungie Aerospace is a wonderful opportunity.

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

I think it was a smart move. I wonder if they will release any open source games or if its simply just about the money? I think Bungie will get paid for whatever service they provide them.

It's interesting what Bungie has done with Aerospace. I had a similar idea for my website. About a year ago I was going to create a company that brought together game industry folks to work on projects.

Basically what I was going to do is have a website where freelance programmers, artists, designers, and producers could come together and contribute to company owned projects. The more someone would contribute to a project the more "shares" they would receive from that project. Once a project was published, the contributors would get paid based upon how many "shares" they accrued.(1099) But, due to logistics and lack of resources, I had to put this project on the back burner.

To me Aerospace is similar to my idea. Except instead of matching talent to a project, Bungie will only accept talent already associated with a project, and company. Which is good and all, but it seems like all Aerospace is more of an independent publisher then a tool for independent developers.

Meh, I don't really care. I don't own an Iphone or Android and as long as this doesn't affect Bungie's next Game, its all good.

Hopefully one day Bungie will be a publisher and developer so they have complete control over their games.

And I'm ready to kill, cause I can't get enough and I can't get my thrills.

Events of Aerospace in a nutshell.
Bungie: Oh hey, now that we are a pretty large developer, lets help out up and coming devs, but keep it under wraps from the community.
Community: Woah, Bungie Aerospace? Must be their new game!
Bungie: ...
*later on*
Bungie: Here's some Aerospace t-shirts. We're still not telling you what it is though.
Community: New shirts!!!1
*later on*
Some members of Community: Look, Aerospace is a corporation, it can't be a game.
Rest of community: Nuh-uh, it's a game!
Bungie: ...
*Few weeks later*
Bungie: We're telling you what Aerospace is now. *Article on front page*
Most of community: WHAT IS THIS!! BUNGIE BETRAYED US BY HYPING AEROSPACE AND WE GET THIS!!!
Other members of community: Called it. Cool idea though, helping small developers.

A lot of people do not look at the long term idea. If they help a little company and that company get enough money to create one of the best franchises..........................But lets cry about it not being a game we already know exist, but just is not announced.
