Subject: Just a little curious.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

How does the Bungie staff and employees feel about other competitors (Developers)? I never heard anything about Bungie having a rivalry, so just a little curious about it.

Bungie's goal is world domination. Everybody is their rival.

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

I know Bungie got like 100 free copys of blops.

They're big competitors with Tradewest. The esteemed publishers behind the masterpiece: Battletoads.

And they let us in here by only paying the small fee of being sodomized with an animal, so they must care about us.

We're their test dummies for the slingshot. Of course they'll be nice.

Bungie has said repetitively over the years that they are their own worst critics. I'd say Bungies biggest competitor is themselves. We've heard it before in the ViDocs about "How do we top ourselves?"

Bungie competes with itself. Which is awesome and weird.

Just how every other game developer feels? If there is a game that is getting popular and selling really well, other game developers would try and sell a better game.

A good example would be Halo and Call of Duty. Halo was selling really well, so Infinity Ward tried to sell a game to compete with Halo, so they created Call of Duty.

PS: I worded this pretty-damn bad. ;p

Everyone has a time in their life when they're curious.

  • 11.06.2011 6:53 PM PDT

I think the relationship is 1 part "I hope you fail" and 2 parts "We will do better than you".


Imagine all video game players are a pie. Developers and publishers just try to take the biggest piece of pie that they can, at the expense of other publishers/developers. It is the responsibility of the console manufacturers to increase the size of the pie.

Whoo.

They like em, why wouldn't they?

If you're a biologist and you meet another biologist you'd be all like awwwh yeah, you wouldn't hate each other just because you're employed in the same field, just because you're "competeing".

In fact I hear Naught Dog and Bungie are very chummy, a PS3 and a Xbox developer.

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

They probably love playing the games from everyone else. Heck, keeping a broad spectrum of games on one's palate allows for better game making.

  • 11.06.2011 8:12 PM PDT

Tru7h. C4RN4GE. Bungie.

Just look at their gamercards. They play plenty of different games. I think it's safe to assume that many people in the gaming industry bounce around on different game titles depending on contracts, time limits, money etc.

Just because you work for a company, doesn't mean you can't buy from your competition as an employee.

Bungie:"Dammit, I'm better than you!!!"
Bungie:"No you're not! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Bungie:"YES I AM!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna kill you!!"
Bungie:"You'll only destroy yourself!"
Bungie:"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
