My Conspiracy theory. The Microsoft-Bungie Payback

D
doodi

So if you guys have been keeping up with Vivendi’s Search For Activision/Blizzard Suitors you know that one of the possible buyers (no real confirmation) is Microsoft.  It looks like Vivendi is looking to sell off the 8 billion dollar company in hopes to recoup some of its debt.  

Now if Microsoft does buy the company they stand to gain a lot from owning the market on the MMO , FPS, and even RTS space.  With a library like Halo, COD, WoW, and Starcraft they certainly would have a massive edge over Sony and Nintendo.  

The even more ironic part of this deal however would be the relationship between Bungie and Microsoft.  The story would unfold like some jilted lover in a cheesy romance novel.  

1) Microsoft buys Bungie: Love at First Sight

2) Bungie releases Halo series and helps sell Xbox to the world: They have beautiful children

3) Bungie leaves Microsoft: Can't take controlling abusive significant other and files for divorce

4) Bungie gives Microsoft Halo: Divorce court leaves custody of kids in the hands of a broken home

5) Bungie joins Activision: Finds new love and plans to start a family with a long term plan

6) Microsoft Buys Activision->Bungie: Jilted lover becomes obsessed and murders new lover in order to MAKE HER LOVE ME.

While none of this is really confirmed, it would make for a pretty twisted turn of events if Microsoft ended up with not only the Halo series, but Bungie back under its wing.  One would think the contract with Activision would still stand even after Microsoft bought out Vivendi's shares.  Realistically I think Microsoft could stand to lose the 8billion dollars over a move like this as well.  What do you guys think?

NOTE: For some reason people are taking this blog post as if it were news or stated as fact. It's not nor does it pretend to be.  This isn't a front page article or some lame attempt at pretending I can actually write.  It's purely a fun look at the possible turn of events and how all roads could lead back to Microsoft.  Its just a blog post.  Something for us to speculate about and discuss as gamers.  Real news is on our home page, not at this personal blog.
