Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Because that is how the cookie crumbled.

Halo was owned be MS since 2001ish. If Bungie wanted to be independent, they had to give that up.

I did


Well, they explained their financial troubles in the ViDoc, and then approaching Microsoft with an offer that Microsoft couldn't refuse.

Either their brains or their signature would be on that contr...

wait...

That's a different video...

Either way, both companies got what they needed at the time. However, as part of the contract, Bungie had to sign over the rights to their new I.P. (Halo) in order for the deal to work.

Bungie gets as much operating capital as they needed.

Microsoft got an exclusive launch title for their new console.

This is why Bungie had to leave Halo behind.

Really, it's all in the ViDoc...

BUNGiE will always by my favorite gaming developer

rock on and continue with epic-ness

ten year deal with Microsoft

after ten years Microsoft gets Halo...and well ten years are up

bungie has lost the rights to Halo now

and the extra seats in the Hog and the Falcon would get the other team an easy Overkill/ killtcaular (did i spell that right?)

well thats it

So no one really quit. It was just part of the deal, see.

This town isn't big enough for the both of us, see.

Wibbly-wobbly designy-whiney stuff.

Halo's been Bungie-operated for ten years now. Just doing the same universe forever gets *extremely* boring.

The bigger question is, why is Microsoft continuing it? Seriously, just let the stupid thing die. This Halo 4 nonsense is only going to drive it into the ground.

If there is consistent consumer demand, then it will get made.

Besides, I'm kinda excited about the new trilogy. I think 343 will do a good job with it.

Not as good as Bungie, mind you, but good none-the-less.

Videogames, Anime, and Interwebz. I love it all!

For the love of Raptor Jesus would you please read the weekly updates, watch the Vidoc, and get with the times!?
