smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Bungie: "We are finally leaving the company that made our job less than enjoyable, and are moving to a new and more free partnership!"

One year later...

Microsoft: "GUESS WHOSE BACK! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

I'll laugh my ass off if MS actually buys it.


Ok if this is true it might suck for Bungie but it would be awesome for us. Think about it, MS would probably FORCE Bungie into continuing the Halo series and we can get rid of these 343i bums! Just my opinion though. lol!

Activision don't own Bungie, meaning that if Microsoft bought them they wouldn't own Bungie either.

I wonder if it's possible to laugh from hilarity and cry from despair at the same time...

True that, but if if MS controls activision they can prob change the original contract and add stipulations its not about owning its about binding contracts. I probably sisnt make that clear. in any case im just saying its totally a posibility if this happens.

I doubt it.

They'd have to renegotiate most of the contract, and I'm pretty sure neither side would want to do that.

Bungie would have to agree to that contract, which they wouldn't.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."

This probably won't happen, but if it did it would be hilariously ironic

Not true. If you make any alteration to an agreed upon and signed contract, it's known as a counter-offer.

A counter-offer must be re-agreed upon by both parties.

Microsoft is not buying Activision | Blizzard. Vivendi (the owner of Actvision-Blizzard) hired a Bank/firm to calculate the value of Activision-Blizzard and analyze what companies would be suitable to purchase the publisher/developer at a value of $10 Billion. The title of this thread is misleading.

1.) "Crack In Time" - Louder Production Music
2.) "Agressive Sucks" - Moss Landing

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

This is off-topic in this forum, and there is already a huge thread about it in the appropriate forum, here.
