Were you this upset when Microsoft purchased Bungie and forced them to redo Halo as a completely Xbox exclusive franchise for the next 10 years [b][i]after[/i][/b] they had already demo'd the game at Macworld?

  • It looked like crap at Macworld. Without Microsoft and all that money Bungie would not be what is what today.

  • Not really look at the old interviews they come right out and say Microsoft gave them the opportunity to make halo what it was

  • Bungie were in trouble, they had to recall Myth 2 as versions of the game could wipe players HDDs. Their financial situation was not ideal. MS did not just buy them and force anything. The merger with MS did not go ahead until the entire Bungie team agreed. Bungie got to keep what they wanted, Oni and Marathon come to mind, and MS got Halo.

  • your lucky bungie didnt decide to make destiny psn only. the only reason why they decided this is because it would be more profitable and then sell exclusives to playstation.

  • Actually, my point is you guys should be thankful you have any content at all. Microsoft has proven that it could be much, much worse.

  • LOL...what? Someones been drinking to much high fructose corn syrup i see. Destiny wouldnt exist if it weren't for the existence of the Xbox console. How well would halo have done as a pc exclusive?... How well was bungie doing before Microsoft aquired them? Oh yeah...Oni.... LOL. It seems that PlayStation owners who live and die Destiny are the ones who are actually lucky and should be somewhat grateful for Microsoft's acquisition of bungie years ago.

    Bungie was doing fine before MS, Marathon sold incredibly well and Oni was a smash hit ratings wise.

    You obviously didnt read the full response carefully my friend. I still have my copy of marathon and am fully aware of how well it did, however it does not negate my previous statement. Without the halo franchise there would be no Destiny. Xbox owners alone supported bungie for over a decade, how are they somehow " lucky" now to recieve "any" content at all for bungies new ip? Wait im sorry Activisions ip. Oni was a smash hit ratings wise.....lol ok but the game was mediocre at best. I still have it as well lol.

  • Okay I was just saying that Bungie was doing fine before MS bought them, obviously MS set them up for the long haul with a lucrative contract but they did also rebuild the entire game from being a computer TPS to [i]the[/i] console FPS.

  • No they were not doing fine. Myth 2 put the company at potential financial risk. Versions of the game could erase players HDDs, and had to be pulled. The deal with MS was at the agreement of the entire Bungie studio.

  • Your hypotheticals are just that. My example actually happened. Xbox players need to quit complaining about it. If you want a Jade Rabbit that badly, get a PS4. If a couple exclusive items are enough to stop you from buying Destiny 2, then you never really enjoyed the game in the first place and it's probably better for everyone if you didn't buy Destiny 2. This whole "b-b-b-but I paid $60 too!!" doesn't give you the right to demand content you knew was exclusive to another console, no matter how long it's timed. Get over it or go back to playing​ Warframe or Overwatch or Borderlands 2 or whatever other finger-wag threats you guys will undoubtedly never follow through with.

  • Drink more water my friend lol. The corn syrup causes mind malfunction I own a ps4....could care less about what PlayStation owners are getting in Destiny that im not recieving on my Xbox version, i havent seen any zen meteor highlight reels on YouTube and the jade rabbit...lol. I paid 20usd for Destiny why would i pay 60usd for Destiny 2? LOL why would i want the develper to get my money when i could give it to the local mom and pop game retailer who actually appreciates my business?
