Yeah, they'll use the 80% of Crimson's profits for your paychecks.

What's 80% of zero, again?

Psssssst. Shut up. If Bungie becomes MS, we might get paychecks!

You kind of forgot that part where Bungie was around and doing fairly well before Microsoft picked them up.

What I meant is that it has become a 'loop'. History tends to repeat itself...

Understand business? You can't even spell business!

:D

Ohhhhhhh shut down OP shut down.

And i doubt Bungie will ever have over 1000 employees so there's one way they'll never be like micro$oft.


Heretic.

Bungie was born as two college guys making games. A community bound by a love of mac games and pizza.

Alright I'm taking notes here. Microsoft's revenue streams in 2010 looked like this:

Windows and Windows Live
Revenue: $18,491,000,000
Operating Income: $12,977,000,000

Server and Tools (Windows Server, Windows Azure, Visual Studio, Silverlight)
Revenue: $14,866,000,000
Operating Income: $5,491,000,000

Online Services (Bing, MSN, Hotmail)
Revenue: $2,199,000,000
Operating income: $-2,355,000,000

Business (Office, SharePoint, Dynamics ERP/CRM)
Revenue: $18,642,000,000
Operating income: $11,776,000,000

Entertainment and Devices (XBox 360/LIVE, Zune, Windows Phone, hardware)
Revenue: $8,058,000,000
Operating income: $679,000,000

.. with approximately 91k employees.

How again is MS's business model like Bungie's? How about their corporate culture? community? anything?


  • 10.17.2011 11:50 PM PDT

Bungie cannot take over the world until I get a job there. It is impossible. I am the ONE if you will. ;-)

I'm just here to check the meters.

If you understand bussiness and marketing statistics then you might be able to see what I'm saying here... ;]


...I'm all about understanding business and marketing statistics and I don't see what you're saying. Inserting generic terms to try to support yourself doesn't make your argument stronger, it makes it weaker.

You can tell bungie got butt hurt.

And stop quoting, you're all pathetic.

For Carnage Apply Within

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace
-Pádraig Anraí Mac Piarais

Hah. Bungie wasn't created with the help of Microsoft. Play Marathon and Myth and tell me otherwise. Ignorant -blam!-.

EDITED:
Ok, ok...here's the thing... Bungie rose to power by the help of MS;Now Bungie will do what MS did to them by creating the 'Bungie Aerospace'...now 'Crimsom' (new developers) i.e the 'aerospace' 'TM' or 'R' will "help small bussiness to launch their games...etc and...blah...blah...'give them a 'taste' of world domination'...trah....and so"...Its a cycle, a loop. If you understand bussiness and marketing statistics then you might be able to see what I'm saying here... ;]


Yeah, man... I see what you're saying, maaaan. It's, like, the establishment. And stuff. Bungie is EVIL, man. They're turning the world of video games into a cycle... a vicious cycle... of...like...establishments. it's like...the money... and TM... and R. R is a bad letter. Bungee R bad. WE ARE THE 99%! Of something! Occupy Bungie street! And stuff!


But seriously, folks, how can you be so blind to this conspiracy? They want to rule everything! How can they have the gall to plot world domination right under our noses, and still think that their sinister machinations would never be uncovered?

Oh, wait...
