Bungie claims MMO announcement was a joke
Studio's ൩GDC reveal dismissed as ill-conceived gag
Hey, remember when Bungie's lead network engineer, David Aldridge,澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced the studio's next projectwas a massively multiplayer action game? Remember how we all ꦕlaughed and high-fived each other because we knew it was too crazy to be true? No? You took that seriously? Well, good sir, it appears your sarcasm detector is i꧂n woeful need of repair, because according to Bungie, it was all a big joke.
Shortly after Aldridge produced a slide referring toan unnamedMMO project (one tha🐭t would most defin♑itely not be “WoW is space,” he later clarified) at GDC, Bungiedismissing his announcement as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the MMO rumors circling the studio, explaining:
“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 people can’t figu꧂re David out – they can’t process him. And we don’t exp🥂ect them to. You can’t process David Aldridge with a normal brain. You’d need tiger blood and Adonis DNA.”
Bun𒀰gie also posted an email from Aldridge, claiming, “FYI. Th👍e tape will exonerate me, but I'm sorry anyway. :(.”
Above: Aldridge's slidewas winning, duh!
We don't know what's funnier: the fact Bungie has a solid handle on Charlie Sheen quotes, or it's really hoping the gaming community forgets all aboutthis MMO hilarity so it can announce the project to greater ef🐬fect at a later date *coughE32011cough*. Sorry, must be something in our throats.
