    tinysubversions: Decided to drive all the way to my mom's house in NoVA instead of staying overnight in NC. 832 mi today! Time to sleep.

    tinysubversions: RT @JKeverne: Latest PCGamerUK has arrived with XCOM info. Secret Underground HQs, research, squad mates... Sounding like X-Com to me.

    tinysubversions: @Mattu They had the best bargaining position possible for that negotiation. I'm sure they got a good deal. They're not dumb, neither is ATVI

     

  • 01:44:17 am on April 30, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @grahamboree Actually that is entirely dependent on the publishing contract, and Bungie had a great bargaining position for the contract.

    tinysubversions: Lesson of the day: Satoru Iwata is completely badass. Probably one of the greatest game devs ever.

    tinysubversions: @grahamboree Why? It's Bungie's talent that made Halo. Bungie. Not MS. Not Activision.

     

  • 12:37:45 am on April 30, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @Mattu ATVI doesn't own the IP or Bungie. They're publishers, just like EA doesn't have a creative stake in Rock Band.

     

  • 12:36:17 am on April 30, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @grahamboree I don't understand. Are you saying ATVI can't publish a high quality FPS? Because they do that all the time.

    tinysubversions: @HMXkfan There's one in Central on Norfolk St & Washington St, kind of behind the Harvard Coop parking lot

    tinysubversions: @HMXkfan Is it a soda or is it bubblegum? Who knows!

    tinysubversions: @HMXkfan I <3 Inca Cola. Try any of the Caribbean groceries around. Also Macchu Picchu Chicken in Union Sq Somerville has it.

    tinysubversions: @Iroqu0isP1iskin Congratulations, sir.

     

  • 08:06:22 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @grahamboree Specifically, Bungie controls the quality of the product. ATVI provides traditional publishing duties.

     

  • 08:05:49 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @craigperko Thanks, updated!

     

  • 08:05:08 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @grahamboree Get your facts right, those games were developed IN HOUSE by ATVI-owned studios. The Bungie thing is a traditional pub deal

     

  • 07:47:31 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @grahamboree The general quality of Activision games? Bungie isn't *owned* by ATVI, they are simply using them as a publisher.

     

  • 07:42:20 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @reidkimball Yeah, and working for 9 months on the agreement was probably just the contract negotiation. I bet they've been talking longer!

    tinysubversions: @CorvusE I didn't even see your comments, I think you wake up too early for me :)

    tinysubversions: Here's why people trying to connect IW and Bungie/ATVI don't understand the pace of business: http://bit.ly/bri0wh

  • 04:34:25 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @chrislamb Yeah, Bungie have a strong bargaining position. Deals like this would be one of the main reasons for the buyback from MS

     

  • 04:21:38 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: @JKeverne It's because IW was in the poor position of being owned by their publisher, Bungie extricated themselves from that years back.

     

  • 02:57:44 pm on April 29, 2010 |

    tinysubversions: There are 3 pubs that could really back a Bungie game: MS, EA, ATVI. I don't understand the anger over them choosing ATVI.

    tinysubversions: @sklathill Oh, that's too bad, both b/c I won't see you and b/c audio was historically such a part of AGDC/GDCA/GDCO

    tinysubversions: @TroyGoodfellow Flotilla is good fun. I'll be doing a video review of it some time soon.
