Rumor: Bungie and Microsoft Breakup?

"So heres my big secret. You should google Bungie + Microsoft + separation this week. You know that big ol BILLION dollar franchise Bungie has created for Microsoft, to show their appreciate Microsoft is letting Bungie leave. Of course Microsoft gets to keep all rights to the Halo franchise, but as today Bungie no longer part of Microsoft. Ask anyone who works there to search the global address book, they're no longer in there. Microsoft was supposed to release the press release today but if they wait till the 10/6 the impact wont effect the quarterly results. However today is the actual official date and the day the NDAs expire, however you still didn't hear this from me."

i hope this is true

killercam196087d ago

i thought Sony fanboys hated Bungie and Halo..................o i gues u just hated them cus it was the 360 they developed for which in the end proves that sony fanboys are retarded

marinelife96087d ago

What did Bungie make before Halo? Was it any good?

marinelife96087d ago

Looks like their other notable titles were Oni and Myth. I played both and neither were memorable.

TheSadTruth6087d ago

myth was great, u probably just are too narrow minded to handle an RTS

and also, this article is a bunch of bullshit because Microsoft OWNS Bungie, Bungie isn't going ANYWHERE

hazeblaze6087d ago

I'm not really sure how this ends up being good news??? There are already awesome FPS devs on other systems so Bungie is not needed on other platforms. And I don't see how it could be good news for M$ either... Bungie vitually saved them from dying last gen & probably this gen too.

I kind of doubt this is true.

Bonsai12146087d ago

is better than halo. play it before you disagree with me. essentially everything that was done in halo was done before in marathon. (except the rechargeable shields)

MADGameR6087d ago

I don't care if Bungie leaves MS or not. Does'nt that suck for Halo fans? I would'nt be surprised if I see Halo 4 going multi plat? THEN say who has no games? LOL!

Your dreaming again.

This story needs removed. Bungie was acquired by Microsoft in 2000.

The only way Bungie is going anywhere is if Microsoft sells them.

"Ask anyone who works there to search the global address book" I just did.. and the person told me this is bull $h!t that smells like a Sony fanboy that confused caca with dark chocolate.

MikeGdaGod6087d ago

i just wanna know what you'll say if it is true???

i know it's highly non-likely, but still. will you finally apologize for being so nasty?

you keep taking this stuff too serious and you'll run up your blood pressure. relax its just games.

sanderFVCKINcohen6087d ago

Or more like a fly who its both honey & Sh!t and cant tell the difference!!!

Naruto6088d ago

Also Microsoft is not currently denying this. Usually they address things like this.

BIadestarX6088d ago

Actually Microsoft does not comment on Rumors.. specially rumors like this one. Big corporation responses usually take a lot of planing and meetings... they just can't go nutz everytime a Sony fanboy starts ar rumor like this one... Do you know why they call this a rumor? Because there is no way to verify this... do you know how this guy cameup with this conclusion? "You should google Bungie + Microsoft + separation this week." do you know how he is trying to make people verify this is true? "Ask anyone who works there to search the global address book"...
now tell me.. who did you call at microsoft to do this?... better yet... do you think that "anyone" at microsoft would know about "bungie"? lol.. seriously you people just believe anything you hear...

ktchong6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

this rumor just came out TODAY, less than 24 hours ago.

Most likely, this rumor has not even reached Microsoft/Bungie yet.

JasonXE6087d ago

up rumors and use google to verify it.

ChaosKnight6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

I am quite skeptical on this... As much as Halo is a major franchise, Microsoft isn't just going to let a business they've bought go like that... I can see employees of Bungie quitting or something and going to other game companies, like what occurs after most games are released, but to say Microsoft just invested millions if not billions of dollars into the company and they give it up in... what seven year? I dunno. (Also I'll wait for M$' official comment as this was only posted a couple hours ago)

Then again, I don't really care as I'm not a big fan of Halo anyways, even if i got 3 =P.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Moving In My 30s Made Me Nostalgic For Physical Games

I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.

Popsicle5d ago

I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.

shinoff21835d ago

Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
