Halo PC Goes Gold, Producer Quizzed

Scorpion_1169 writes "According to Bungie.org, Microsoft/Gearbox's long-awaited version of Halo for the PC has gone gold, and is scheduled to hit store shelves on September 30th." There's also an interview with Bungie producer Michel Bastien over at Bungie.net, answering questions such as who might have leaked a Beta version of Halo online ("Nah, we don't know who it was. It really sucks because this build was not the most glorious build we've put together"), and the existence of easter eggs ("Like the Xbox game, you want to play through 'The Maw' on Legendary. We've got a couple of well-kept surprises, which, hopefully, we can roll out in the future...")

Good, but...

I've never played Halo. I don't own an xbox. I don't own a single console, and if I were going to get one, xbox would be last on my list.

I'll probably get this game just to see why xbox fans think it is worth getting an xbox for, however...

Why did Microsoft force Bungie to sit on the PC release for so long? I'm surprised they didn't wait until Halo 2 had been out for a while, just to make this release even more pointless.

I suppose it does help xbox sales when there is no PC version, but... I would assume it would help sales of Windows in a small way, since I'm sure a lot of die-hard Halo fans might buy a new PC for the game if the one they have is past its prime.

So apparently, Microsoft cares a lot about trying to make a profit on the xbox.

That's my take on it anyway... what do the rest of you think?
