No bungie had successful video game franchises called Marathon which was a first person shooter, Myth and Oni.. Not only that but if it had been only on PC then again your statement could be false also because the PC gaming community seems to always be at a growing rate unlike the console community which has a increase then decrease keeping it about even! Speaking of PC i think the most well known game of all times is World of Warcraft which is nothing but PC.. so say they would not be where bungie is today probably would be a false statment.. Anyways long story short I’d argue with Ryan that if Halo and Bungie hadn’t stepped up, someone else would have. It’s not like Microsoft had little experience with multiplayer gaming — gamers were playing online on PCs long before consoles cut in and a fair chunk of that gaming occurred on Windows. But whether it’d have been executed as well and in a timely fashion? I reckon Ryan has a point.. Not only that but Ryan states he believes that Xbox Live “wouldn’t have made it” without Bungie’s seminal series, along with Bungie itself.. Not only that but to top your cake kid Microsoft even admitted they "Lost their way" with Halo: Reach, ODST.. Now if Microsoft is so great then they did need bungie to start with and wouldn't have lost their way with the franchises they started and owned! How do you get lost with your own game? Really.. So tell me how is that microsoft 343 studios doing anyways or would you like me to call them 343 Guilty Spark being they were named after the Halo character 343 Guilty Spark? Heck why aren't y'all played that CoD killer Titanfall anyways instead of up here QQing about bungie and what Sony paid for..
