Microsoft snagged Bungie just days before Apple

[Guest]

@klepto12 - Bungie split with MS (while MS owns the Halo IP) because of differences of opinion. They had "differences of opinion" on halo and it reached a point they were going to walk away from each other while there still civil.

It's ashame that a PC game was ripped from the PC forever. Now the PC gets the sloppy seconds 2-3 years after Halo games are released.
Like the other games developed by Bungie prior to the Microsoft buyout, they were released on both Mac and Windows. Microsoft stepped in and took Halo from the PC world altogether.

I was thoroughly disappointed when it occurred.

Never bought a mac and never will until they have a solid database of good games. I understand that it's important to work but it's also important to relax.

Apple will never take over or be crushed. Apple computers offer NO advantages over a windows one. The whole "Macs don't get viruses" was their last stand and now it's void. Just like Steve said

"$500 more to get a logo on it" It isn't worth it.

But at the same time they wont be crushed because their loyal fanbase will always get apple products.

"How dare you buy the company that I had turned down!" You snooze, you lose. I'm entertained by this story on account of the sheer ridiculousness involved in Jobs getting upset that he said no, and then they went to someone else with the deal.

Jobs deserved that for saying no in the first place! Go microsoft.
