Bungie splits from Microsoft

This comes as a surprise, especially given how successful Halo 3 has been.

Bungie Studios, who created Halo, is leaving the embrace of Micorosoft to become an indie studio again. An indie studio that has Microsoft as an equity partner.

The full details can be found at MCV and GameSpot.

This is backwards from what normally happens. Usually, a studio makes a game for a publisher, it sells well, and the publisher acquires the studio. That's how Bungie ended up part of Microsoft in the first place.


BREAKFAST: Nothing. Yet. But steak and eggs, maybe. It's Friday.

You know, when reading this on the Bungie site I kept checking my calendar to see if it was April already :) It'd be so like Bungie.
