What it really means (Score 0)

When MS bought Bungie it was so they could have a title to sell their xbox. That worked pretty well. Bungie always made awesome games and were more unique and styled than others of the same genre. What this gave Bungie was $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and the ability that after they made the xbox for MS they could go back to doing what they love doing. Make really great games their way as an independent company. It was win/win/loose (Mac users got screwed on Halo).
