Bungie Says Goodbye

        

As I'm sure you already know, Microsoft has let Bungie Studios do there own thing. Microsoft officially no longer owns Bungie. Now before you worry about the Halo franchise or begin to cheer that Bungie will make games for the Mac, consider this.

Microsoft still retains the publishing rights for everything Halo. What this means, is that Microsoft could conceivably go with another developer if they so choose. Also, Microsoft still own considerable shares in Bungie, so they may be able to keep Bungie off the Mac for a while. Also, Bungie has announced that they are already working a new Halo game, which was the Peter Jackson game announced at E3.

While the Halo franchise will undoubtedly continue unabated, it is a interesting development considering Halo 3 made more than Spiderman 3 on opening day.

I should have posted a update..Bungie has said they are already working on a new Halo game. The Peter Jackson Halo game mentioned at E3. Bungie said that its not exactly Halo 4, but a game in the Halo universe.
