There are rumors flooding gaming sites across the net that something big is going down concerning Microsoft and Bungie. Bungie has historically been very open with members of the press, but this week it’s been tight lips and lots of pointing towards the direction of Edelman, Microsoft’s PR Firm. Rumors range from an amicable split between the two to some sort of self buyout. All I know is that there is a lot of talk going down and everyone seems to know someone in the “know” that has some sort of special information on the topic although not a peep of it has been confirmed.

Should something go down with Bungie, I guess this is as good a time as any for it to happen. I honestly can’t think of a single situation that would be altogether bad for the industry aside from Bungie closing up shop to become a large team of shoe salesman, but I think the odds of that happening are pretty slim.

At any rate, I guess all we can do is continue to wait and see what unfolds as we wade through a waist high river of rumors that is quickly rising. If you so feel inclined to read everything that the PA forumers think might go down, you can read all 8 pages of that thread here.
