Weekly What's Update - Bungie belongs to Bungie
Whoa. Bungie's managed to get the Weekly What's Update up a LOT of hours early; never fear, though, it's not done. As we mentioned on Wednesday, they solicited Halo 3 questions from the community for this one; they'll be posting answers all day long. HOWEVER: that is not the big news in this update. The Big News is that (as the rumors earlier this week suggested) Bungie has become a private entity, no longer owned by Microsoft. Microsoft will still be publishing their games (for now), and they're still working on the 360 platform (for now)... but they're no longer owned by MS. And to that, I say... wonga. (Read the rest of the update, too; those questions that weren't the big news? They're still questions that are puzzling large numbers of fans on the internet, and Bungie's answering lots of them.) A local version of the WWU will be up in our Weekly Update Archive later today, when most of the questions have been fleshed out. Looks like a thread has already kicked off on our forum, if you want to discuss this. Update: For posterity, the official press release is here. Update 2: Marty O'Donnell pointed out that the official Bungie press release is actually more official than the Microsoft press release, given the situation: we've posted a copy of that, as well. Update 3: This has now been added to our Weekly Update Archive. (Louis Wu 15:27:57 UTC)
