00:00He was so focused on growing the company that he neglected his marriage and eventually got
00:05divorced. Luckily, this didn't bring him down for long because he had a ton of exciting projects in
00:11the works. In fact, after the success of Marathon Infinite, he was able to hire over 100 employees
00:18and set his sights on dominating the online gaming market. The next few years were a huge
00:24success, and Bungie went on to release more hits like Star Trek and Harry Potter. But then, in 2000,
00:31something terrible happened. Microsoft acquired Bungie and turned it into a first-party studio,
00:37which meant that Bungie was now obligated to make games exclusively for Microsoft.
00:43While this may sound like a good thing, it actually ended up being a horrible decision for Bungie.
00:49The reason why is because the Xbox took a long time to come out.
