One of those many what if questions that could have drastically altered what gaming is today.

It is a good business strategy, but it can backfire if you aren't careful.


You need to be innovative from within yourself, you don't need to buy other people or their ideas, it helps and saves you time, but hampers innovation.

mehhh.. I think Bungie is still tied to Microsoft...

I can remember somewhere that I've read that

Microsoft tangles its partners in downrooting contracts

mehhh but as soon as Bungie gets out of those contracts
it can take that path...

also... I believe that MS pays Bungie alot but well
MS is wasting so much money those couldve been developed for in-house game development, better OS, better market research...


EDIT:

wait MS bought Bungie?

ohh well....

NO ONE DENIES THE DICTATOR!

lol... theme too overused...

ohh well... i bet for sony's strategy XD
