[spoiler]I stole this from user Vicex on Offtopic. No name shaming so this shouldn't be ninjaed for this reason[/spoiler] Bungie: There was only one offer. Community Leaders: One? Are you sure? B: Yes, they called it “Profit”. *Community grumbles* CL: Why was it not ignored with the rest of the bait? B: They put it on a hook, and jiggled it around, but we resisted with all the might we could command. CL: When you first saw this profit, where you blinded by its majesty? B: Blinded? CL: Paralysed, dumbstruck.. B: No... CL: Yet you signed a deal with Activision, made a partnership with Sony, and fired Marty O’Donnell! B: Nobel, community, surely you understand that once we liberated ourselves from Microsoft.. *Community’s grumbling intensifies* Ninjas: THERE WILL BE ORDER IN THIS COMMUNITY! CL: You were right to break off from Microsoft, but this deal with Activision, this radical restructuring of Bungie... B: By the time we realised what was happening to us, there was nothing we could do. *Community rages, while Ninjas discuss among selves. Microsoft laughs to self*. CL (to selves): This has gone on long enough, make an example of this Bungler! The community demands it! CL: You are one of our most treasured developers; long have you lead the industry with honour and distinction... but your inability to reject the profits and not sellout who you once where...was a colossal failure. Community Member: Nay! It was heresy! *Community gets angsty* B: We will continue to make great games! CL: No! You will not. CL: Soon the next generation of gaming will be reached, but when it is, the weight of your heresy will stay your feet, and you shall be left behind.
