How could Bungie afford to be such a cool company?
[i]Before I start, I want to stress that I am not trying to be a Bungie fanboy, but I can't promise anything. Read at your own risk![/i]
Bungie are unlike most game developers. Their well-known laid back atmosphere at the workplace and their good humored nature and so on and so forth lead me to one question: how could Bungie afford to become what it is today?
In a market where risks are frowned upon by large name publishers and financiers, where companies tug at all the strings they can to extract more and more money from customers, or developers who, while developing great games, give by-the-book customer care, how could companies that generally care about their customers and put creative vision above the big dough (Bungie, Valve and Bethesda to a lesser extent) become so successful?
How did Bungie become Bungie?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NoWise10 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Unanimate Objec [/quote] It is Bungies fault if they had a specific part in the campaign that a TESTER couldn't figure out what the objective was. They don't just pull random testers off the street. They have experience in playing and testing games and aspects. I would feel extremely uncomfortable if I was testing someones games and they were getting pissed at me because I didn't know what to do. If they were annoyed, sure, but the guy was full on sighing right behind him saying "nope, sorry buddy thats not what you do" or along those lines. Im not hating on Bungie, I love them, but im just sayin'.[/quote] If the guy who was behind the tester was sighing and telling him that wasn't the way to go, I don't see how that's a big deal. Pulling out one man to represent a company isn't fair, especially if that one man was having problems with the tester. If you could find footage or proof of the incident, it'd be greatly appreciated for A) Discussion value and B) My curiosity being satisfied.
