Gotcha! Bungie MMO is a joke! |
Listed in: News Tags: bungie, news
In today's Bungie Weekly Update, Bungie has finally put an end to the speculation that they are doing an MMO game next. Said the team, it wsa nothing but a good old joke. Which nobody apparently got.
What it was really was just a prank by David Aldridge, their netweork engineer. He pulled it during their presentation at the GDC. The last slide of Aldridge's presentation had this teaser of a statement: "massively good online games". He just wanted to see what happened, and, well, that's exactly what he got.
Speculations poured in as to whether or not Bungie is indeed entering the MMO market. But they showed it at the GDC! Surely, nobody pulls a prank like that during GDC!
They do, and they did. Coming clean on their weekly update, they said:

"Now, in rehearsal Aldridge was convinced that everybody got the joke. It was all in the delivery, he assured us, and he was certain it was clear that he was playfully riffing off of the recent rumors. Unfortunately, most of people can't figure David out - they can't process him. And we don't expect them to. You can't process David Aldridge with a normal brain. You don't need tiger blood and Adonis DNA."

There you have it guys, it was just a joke. If you got your hopes up high, at least you know who to blame for having it crushed down back to the ground.
