Bungie is a development studio owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment. They are the creators of the Marathon, Myth, Halo, and Destiny series of games.
Microsoft bought Bungie for 30 million dollars and every Halo games since #2 has set sales records on release - it's a billion dollar franchise. The only acquisition that even comes close to that is EA buying Maxis right before the Sims got big.
Oh, and Steve Jobs, while a legendary tech visionary, also happens to be a bit of a douche bag.
i cant imagine caring if i made my biggest rival angry, if i was Steve Ballmer i would imagine my reply to be something along the lines of "cool story bro, KTHNXBAI"
That was disappointing. I was expecting at least a picture of Jobs' face all messed up from anger. That one just looks like he spotted a fat lady wearing small, very tight clothes
Uh... you might call your ex girlfriend's new fling in a bout of rage just after she leaves you for him... that's maybe a little normalish. But calling her NEXT boyfriend after she leaves the other one many years later is pretty deep into stalker territory.
Looks like Jobs should be looking into grabbing up GSC Gameworld.
Oh buuuuuurn! SSully told you with his quick, sharp wit he got on the playground!/where he watched the movie "Borat" at the age of 7! Yeah, you feel owned Brad Nicholson? What now? "
I am not talking about Brad Nicholson, i am talking about Stevie boy. He is a immature business man, and this article, although old news, emphasizes that. Maybe you need to chill out a bit? "
Oh, holy fucking shit! The "chill pill" trump card! Oh...oh OH, retard can't prove he's not retarded, tells everyone making fun of him to "chillax a bit bro". Man, everyone who knows that it's "an immature" not "a immature" and everyone who is older than 8 enough to not use a "NAWHHT" joke are on the ropes now! "
I'm starting to hate this community now too... As for the article, we could do without Brad... "
Let me email Fries and tell him to calm you lot down about the whole thing...
Steve Jobs. Pfft. He'd be nothing if he didn't have Steve Wozniak at the beginning. Does anyone take more credit for doing less than nothing than Jobs?
wow...sure are a lot of dickheads in the comments. Slow week hur hur hur old news hur hur hur. If you're gonna be an idiot in the comments, at least try to be somewhat original.
"Steve Jobs Was Not Angry About Microsoft's Bungie Acquisition" would have been news. It was pretty obvious from the moment it happened that the people at Apple would not have been happy. Hell, im STILL angry about it, and i dont even have a Mac!
