Breaking news! This just in from Sarcastic Gamer News! We have a HUGE Exclusive that nobody else has, because it’s exclusively exclusive to Sarcastic Gamer.

Guess What?

Bungie just left Microsoft. BAM! I’m just putting it right out there for you. Digest it. Swish that around in your mouth like fresh Hooch on a Friday night in the Dorms… They’re gone.

Yeah, um so they left Microsoft. So, that’s huge right? It’s like a big deal or something. Right?

Because…..

Oh yeah, Halo 3 is so huge right now. Huge! That means that if Bungie is leaving Microsoft, then it’s huge news because Bungie made Halo, just in case you didn’t know. They. Made. Halo. So, then this news must be huge! Huge! Huh?

Why?

I dunno. Do you? Unless you own stock in Bungie, or work for Bungie, this isn’t gonna change your life, contrary to what most gaming news outlets would have you believe.

Don’t believe the hype.

Bungie still basically works for Microsoft. Bungie will still publish their games through Microsoft Game Studios and Microsoft still holds the “long term publishing rights” to Bungie games. The only thing that’s gonna change, if anything, is that Microsoft will unleash Halo Armageddon on everyone. You’ll see more Halo games coming out for the 360 than Naruto games for the DS!

You thought Nintendo was milking Mario? Just wait for the Microsoft/Halo onslaught to begin. A Halo onslaught will make Microsoft’s game division profitable. Microsoft will make sure of it. There’s gonna be a Halo 4, Halo 5, Halo 6, spin-off games, Halo Wars 2 through 10, Halo cartoons, more of Halo everything. Microsoft is gonna milk this sacred cow for all its worth. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a bunch of Cortana games.

Cortana’s Extreme Volleyball anyone?

In the meantime, Bungie’s going to go… make something… not Halo related? That sounds cool. I guess? Gamers, forget all of this crap and go back to finding that last skull that gets you the ninja helmet in Halo. Dang, that skull is hard to find.
