[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Try It's failed domination![/quote] Yeah, bungie is lost without Microsoft to drag them to success. They went from basic nobodies, in 2000 Microsoft brought the brand and turned it into gold ... post 2007 bungie go their own way and disappear into darkness (even adopting the slogan [i]we have gone dark[/i]"?!?) But when you statements of direction like this "[url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6365/a_decade_on_halo_charts_its_course.php?page=3]Were literally looking at making a grunt plushie this year, and not because - well itll probably sell a lot and make a lot of money - but because its the single most-demanded item that we havent fulfilled in the franchise history[/url]". Their KPI? - "[i]make a lot of money[/i]" and - "[i]most-demanded item[/i]" - lol Forget fixing game bugs, forget new maps, or actual games ... what we [b]WANT[/b] (or demand) is plush toys ... expensive plush toys. And take that into aerospace. No wonder the crimson/aerospace project died in less than a year. Wonder if this will stop bungie bagging future publishing partners?
