WHY?
GOOD QUESTION. Obviously a contract was made between Sony and Bungie to guarantee exclusives for playstation, BUT. The question is, WHY. Clearly, Sony paid some cash for that, in hopes it would sway a many a folk to buy a playstation, to have the "superior" destiny console. What I don't understand is that, WHY, did Microsoft not make this deal. Now let's get something straight, Microsoft is SO F*CKING RICH, the second wealthiest company in the world (behind apple), Bill Gates who helped to found it, is so f*cking rich, he alone could buy out sony, bend it over a barrel and ride that f*cker into the ground, and he would still be one of the richest men in the world, no sweat. SO, Just imagine how much cash the entire company has. It seems Microsoft could have easily made that contract right? But there's more to it, now I'm not sure about what happened exactly. No one knows if Microsoft just didn't see the opportunity as feasible or outright decided, F*ck you Bungie, for even considering another console as your exclusive outlet. And the latter makes more sense to me, because listen up. Obviously Halo was an outstanding franchise that "defined a generation" and popularized first person shooters, made them mainstream. But did you ever think to realize who made Bungie!!!?, F*cking MICROSOFT MADE BUNGIE WHO THEY ARE TODAY, without Microsoft taking a leap, signing Bungie in to the squad and taking them under their wing, guiding them to greatness, you likely wouldn't know what the f*ck I was talking about when I said Bungie, you'd probably think I was some weird assmotherf*cker talking about trampolines or some sh*t. Bungie owes EVERYTHING to Microsoft. So it begs the question, WHY, WHY did Bungie choose Sony over Microsoft, over the company that nurtured and cared for their frightened newborn baby of a company in Bungie? I DONT KNOW. But it pisses me the f*ck off and poses as a monumental curiosity in my eyes! Thank you for your time.

Bill Gates realized Sony needed SOMETHING to help out the company profits. Good Guy Bill Gates.
-
My guess is that this is bungies attempt at distancing itself from Halo.
-
Microsoft are a business and Xbox is losing money. Investors have to like the investment etc. Playstation is a profit maker for sony so they see it as more important

from the looks of it PlayStation players will get extra exclusive content on the dlc , thats it ,if you bought it for xbox too bad
-
Because they HATE MICROSOFT!!! NOBODY CARES IT HAPPENED GET OVER IT OR BUY A SUPERIOR SYSTEM THAT US ALL!!!

Just to let you know, Bungie also made pretty good PC games before they made Halo... So no, neither Micro$oft or $ony "made" Bungie. Bungie made Bungie by producing great games, Microsoft paid Bungie for Halo to be exclusive.

as an xbone player. i think im glad that it was for ps. hate that we have to wait a whole year though. reason is this. bungie is falling apart. their game released this year did not live up to what was advertised a year ago. this game probably had more failure than battle field 4 on launch but with its entire game. sony will now be know as the company that spent money on a game that is so wrong on so many levels. [spoiler]but you know, whatever helps me sleep at night.[/spoiler]

Saw the wall of text and stopped at "payed".
-
Bill gates is no longer CEO of MS lolol hope this is trolling
-
You know nothing about money don't you?
-
I stopped reading after 2nd wealthiest business after apple.

Edited by SteelBallRun_7: 1/4/2015 11:12:52 AMA contract with a company is just a contract. You're never bound to one company, you need to expand to others to see what works best. Microsoft and Bungie birthed Halo but that doesn't mean a whole lot for business gamble. Also Bill Gates has not worked for Apple. He and Steve Jobs were friends whom are competitors back in the early days of computing. He also did not have any involvement towards Apple success. Stop whining please

Yeah let's not forget about Cod&Their contract with Xbox over the past yrs.
