Ouch

[All Time Greatness]

haha Ouch? Because one guy moved on to something else? Next, you'll be twisting it and trying to pretend like this is good news for the PS3.

Only on N4g, lmao

[Omegasyde]

Alot of directions making videogames now...wtf.

I can't wait until Quentin Tarantino announces something.

My fellow Sony gamers, this must be considered as a victory for the entire video game industry! Though the article didn't say, it pretty much seems that Jim Veevaert got sick and tired of promoting a product that only exploits the weak-minded 12-year olds for the benefit of a shameless company called M$!

As evidenced by the video below, which shows the great damage done on the regular 360 users, there is no doubt that he was haunted by his conscience, causing him to leave! We salute you, Mr. Veevaert, for following your conscience!

Sony Gamers Lead the Way!

Thanks for that video mac. Because of it, my neighbor won't be renewing his Xbox Live membership any time soon.

hey lets have a psn nerds argue movie too.... oh wait no cross game voice chat right ... darn it

[II Necroplasm II]

Yes this is a true victory for Sony.

LMAO... Nerds

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

LMAO!!!!!! I freaking love this site!!!!

[FamilyGuy]

sure is defensive in here :/

@ Shbzshar

We can still talk to people we're in the same game as fool. You don't need cross game chat to call an a$$hole a a$$hole.

I hope the studio becomes successful and the departures were for a good reason/not in vain.

[Knightrid808]

I'll never get my time wasted watching that video. Somebody needs to slap these idiots.

[caladbolg777]

@macalatus: Bad comment. Funny video. Disagreed. De-bubbled.

@Shbzshar: You should know better. The video doesn't show crossgame voicechat via XBOXLive. It's of an argument over in-game lobby chat, which PS games tend to have. Don't be a tw@t. It causes your fanboy to hang out.

[ShabzS]

breeaath people... reeelaax... calm down

[AAACE5]

Hahaha...

An Ecec left MS and you consider that a victory...Haha... Did you forget that Sony has went through a couple presidents?

What was his name? You know, the bald headed guy who went to work for Atari. The same guy who kept preaching to you about how great the Ps3 was, yet if he truely believed it, he would still be there!

Haha, you make fun of MS' taking advantage of 12 year olds, but sony are taking advantage of grown people who still haven't learned how to tell when someone is bullsh*ttin them.

Hilarious!!!

Now can we get back to civilized conversation, now that everyone has let their fanboy comments out?

[Bazookajoe_83]

Isnt that suppose to be one of the first thing somebody here on N4G writes when someone change job?

[ShabzS]

[-MD-]

XBOX 360 LOSING EXCLUSIVE EMPLOYEES!

Not good enough material?

[Shane Kim]

Let me be the first then.

This is what happens when the Devil (MS) doesn't give a crap of the studios and the people who works there. This Halo exec was probably tortured by some MS hotshots like Aaron Greenturd and Billy Boi because he wanted to try something else than Go Go Halo Rangeeeers! Naa-Na-Na-NaaaNaaa.

[Mo0eY]

Gotta agree with you there. Look what has happened to Lionhead Studios, RARE, and especially Bungie. They've practically stolen their Halo franchise from them and pushed them off the plank. Yeah, they still develop games for M$, but whenever Bungie wants to create a Halo for Wii/PS3/iPhone/DS/PSP, well, they're SoL. With both RARE and Lionhead Studios, they've put out subpar games that I would have bought a 360 for in a heartbeat had Banjo Kazooie/Fable 2 not been such horrible pieces of trash.

Why do you think many members of Bungie have already exited stage left?

[kaveti6616]

I'd rather MS not make a Halo game or Halo-based game for another 5 years. Bring on new IPs.

[Tion21]

Now what do u have Xbots? I guess he realized Halo sucks. He prob played COD4 and KZ2 and was like.."what am I doing?" "Halo isn't going nowhere"

Halo's online is just soooooo dated. I mean you do not evn get anything from ranks. Single player sucked too.

Now comes the new series...*dum* *dum* *dum* HOLO: combat revolved
