00:00He drove down to Orange County to visit the offices of a company called MacSoft.
00:05Luckily, he met with someone there named Jeff Sturges, who was a lot more open to the idea of working
00:11with Bungie.
00:13MacSoft agreed to publish two of Bungie's games, which gave the company enough cash flow to stay afloat.
00:19At the time, Peter was still focused on creating Star Trek games, but his team convinced him to focus on
00:27a different type of game that had recently blown up in popularity called First Person Shooters.
00:33So in 1998, Bungie released a game called Marathon Infinity.
00:38Marathon Infinity was a massive success and sold over 1 million copies within just a few months of its release.
