Okay, that's all. Proud to be a Bungie fan.

I'd say you've earned the right to break your own rules from time to time ;)

The real interesting thing is that apparently Microsoft owns 10% (or more) of Bungie's stock!

Yeah, didn't know that

But not unexpected, I suppose. I've always been curious about the details of Bungie's re-independence.

I hear there's a book in the works about Bungie's history which will cover that among other things :-p

All tech companies. I wonder if he'll think there's some kind of cabal in the tech industry.

How else can you get all those H1B visas?

The tech industry aggressively hires from overseas. Open immigration is to their benefit.

From a legal standpoint I'm not sure if these suits have any merit. I'm sure the PR plays well with certain groups however.

Some of them are cited as witnesses in the original suit and have been legally advised to not sign onto this brief. Amazon is one of those companies.
