Comment on Microsoft's real problem was never PlayStation
jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI kinda had the opposite experience, I had been a PC gamer for years before the Xbox came out, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Aliens Total Conversion, Hexen, Rise of the Triad, Quake, Unreal…
By then I had kind of burned out on FPS, so when I heard about Halo I was like “I dunno… another FPS…”
Then I played a demo in the store and was like “Shut up and take my money!”

Well, Halo is an interesting story because that was supposed to be a killer game for the Mac.
I owned a Mac at the time and I was very salty that Microsoft bought Bungie, then made it the system seller for the Xbox.
But I loved Bungie so much that I was willing to make a deal with the devil just to play Halo.
