I've noticed there are a good number of people who are "dissapointed" in Bungie for making a supposedly crap game. [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=71000273]See Exhibit A.[/url] Just in case you guys didn't get the memo, Harebrained Schemes, and not Bungie, developed Steam Pirates. Bungie is the publisher. So the game's quality really has nothing to do with Bungie.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AK Drummer 11 Bungie is the publisher. So the game's quality really has nothing to do with Bungie. [/quote] Could have left it at "[i]quality really has nothing to do with Bungie[/i]". Saved bloating your post. But since you like Exhibits ... [url=http://www.bungie.net/Projects/Aerospace/default.aspx]Exhibit B[/url] ... you may note bungies [false] promise to provide "[i]QA/Testing & User Research[/i]" under the aerospace (aka waste-of-space) project, and as Steam Pirates was its flagship launch product (hell, only product - ever) you could conclude that this one game would have received 100% of that budget. And then there are the multiple press releases where bungie laments that lack of quality in the mobile space, and how bungie is here to save the world ... even ([url=http://seattletimes.com/html/technologybrierdudleysblog/2015466311_post_29.html]Exhibit C[/url]) here "[i]Parsons didnt specify the business arrangements but said Bungie will support developers, providing services such as [u]quality assurance, usability testing[/u] and exposure "to our fan community.[/i]" (from paragraph 8) Ole stinky Pete is the boss, so if you cant believe him ... We all know bungie has shown a lack of commitment to this project ([url=http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=77950813]Exhibit D - Abandoned[/url]), but most believe that if you "[i]say[/i]" you will do something that you at least follow that through ... not just blame a small startup for something that you said was covered. Thats just lame blame shifting.
