You have to remember, though, it wasn't just "a" console, it was MICROSOFT'S CONSOLE (insert scary noise). There was a lot of hardcore Macintosh people in the Hardcore Bungie people and a lot of them carries wounds that scared them emotionally. Microsoft was the evil empire.

I'm well aware. I remember when IBM was the big baddie. You're underscoring my point. If you even considered giving in the battle was lost. For me, Halo felt like photo-realistic Marathon. That was a selling point for me. Maybe the story wasn't as hardcore, but damn, those visuals, that gameplay.

Thankfully that pointless tribalism has basically gone away.

To be replaced by different, more destructive tribalisms.
