Subject: Notch met Bungie?

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

According to this webpage, Notch, the maker of Minecraft, met Bungie in Seattle. First, I'm curious how he did this when Bungie was going dark, but second, I wonder who he met. So community and employees (community for the first, employees for the second), what do you think?

I put this in the Community forum because it was directed toward Bungie, not Mojang.

He mentioned that during his trip to PAX this year that he just dropped in to say Hi to Bungie and Valve. Just because Bungie is dark doesn't mean they can't meet other developers if they come to visit.

I see, then I must venture forth, I must create a indie game as popular as Minecraft!

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I remember reading that, I think it was just some friendly game company talk.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Too bad Valve has only let two people outside the company in. I'm waiting for Valve to finally get to three, because I'm next in line to get in.

Also, just because someone visited Bungie doesn't mean anything was planned other than the meeting. You people really look to far into these things, however, I could be wrong and we could get Marathoncraft.

Notch and Yatzee were the only dudes ever let in?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Valve is shrouded in mystery.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

Who would want to meet someone from Bungie? Those guys are a bunch of jerks.

Maybe this, it could also be so that Bungie can have some ideas when they make games for the PC.
