Armor Lock vs. Top Speed, Approaching Ghost = Super Awesome!

So they released the Crimson Pirates game EXCLUSIVELY for iPad. What the hell for? Seriously? Well, I cannot insult anyone, just tell you, that's the lamest thing they could ever have done since... well since always, there's always a first time apparently.

They've said that it will also be released for the PC.

Also this belongs in the Crimson forum.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Well, Bungie didn't make it and the people who did made it for the iPad. Bungie is just helping them publish it.

Isn't it up to the publishers to choose the platforms?

Ex. Microsoft Game Studios = 360 Exclusive. Activision = Most platforms

Bungie isn't really a "publisher", they just give them help to put their games out. Crimson is already made for iPad, it's up to the developers to port new copies.

why is it a problem to microsoft if it's only available on an ipad?

  • 09.10.2011 12:30 PM PDT

Ugh... What's with people(idiots) thinking everything Bungie does post-Halo 3/ODST MUST be an insult at microsoft/getting back at them?

  • 09.10.2011 12:38 PM PDT

Step 1: Find private game makers.
Step 2: Tell fans of your game to go buy it.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

Because the ipad and iphone are the two biggest portable platforms. Microsoft and Bungie are still on great terms they are still partners and Microsoft still gets royalties from Bungie games in the future. From interviews from Microsoft executives they seemed pretty fine with what happened. No one at Bungie kicked and screamed about not having the Halo ip. It was just time for Bungie to go out on their own they're a huge studio and first party gaming seems to be coming to a close.

I guess some people think revenge is a viable business model.

Who cares about Microsh1t? They're a monopoly and they need to be stopped.

Wow, that's, like, very wrong, completely wrong. Microsoft a monopoly? With the prices that Apple shoots? They charge you 10 times what Microsoft charges you, with equipment 10 times more fragile than Microsoft's, and stereotype everyone with the idea that Mac is better! And now they charge you over $99 for their new "Anti-Virus", the only good thing that Mac HAD before was that there were no viruses, and now they charge you to keep it that way. I might be wrong with THIS post, but that comment is just wrong, almost sick.

ALL multinational corporations are sick. They are like a virus. The infiltrate politics with 'lobbyists', they can enter any country, unrestrained, and unquestioned. The big corporate CEO's are just shills for the international bankers, and the global power elite.

Corporations are like a virus, they infect every country they touch, its a lot like communism, you see. And a monopoly, like Standard Oil, or Microsh1t, is just a very widespread epidemic of this virus.
