I don't think Bungie/Microsoft would make a sidescroller.
Irrelevant. Answer the question.
No.
Don't treat me like I'm a child, because I'm not, and it's insulting. You have no more right to tell me what I should or should not say than anyone else does, so dont' try to. I won't listen. I will, however, explain why I say that.
The quality of a side scroller can't ever get that good. The quality of an RTS can. Bungie would never make a side scroller because nobody would buy it. The question is flawed. So here's my response.
No. Your question is irrelevant, get off your high horse and stop treating me like I'm any worse then you because I have a differing opinion. We can discuss things like civilized human beings if you wish to, but I won't put up with that -blam!- you just pulled. It's insulting, debasing, and offensive.
No, it was irrelevant because it didn't matter within the question whether or not it was likely, but in the event it would happen, regardless of possiblility, what do you think would be done?
I wasn't "treating you like a child," or at least I didn't intend to, but if you want to play that game, I'll bite. If you can't understand the difference between realilty and a thought experiment, and identify when one is asking about one or the other, than I think you should brush up on your rhetoric.
I don't give a damn what you "intended" to do. What you did do was come across as a beligerant, egotistical jerk. You insulted me. You seem to think that it's alright to talk down on others, but it isn't, especially on an online forum! In an argument like this, we're all equals. Try and accept that. Ordering me like I'm a trained dog to answer some bull-blam!- question of yours is offensive, and I hope you can see that.
And no, I don't believe I need to brush up on my rhetoric. I understand perfectly what you're trying to do, and it's flawed. The differences between a RTS and a side scroller are huge. It's impossible to compare the two in a "thought experiment" like this. We're talking about a low quality fan made game being produced. Extremely low quality. Bungie would never, in this time, try to produce a game like that. I won't answer a question that creates an enviroment perfectly suited to get the answer you want. If the question was
"Lets say this is 15 years ago and side scrollers are popular games. The FPS hasn't been invented yet, and Bungie decides to switch from [insert genre here] to the Side scroller, but finds someone selling a modified bungie product already on that market. Should they shut them down then?"
And my answer is yes to that question.
