It was first a rumour. Then it appeared to be ‘officially’ confirmed. Now, it was all a joke. A cruel one, it has to be said.The source of it all is a slide during Bungie engineer David Aldridge’s GDC presentation. As Bungie.net reports, “in rehearsal Aldridge was convinced that everybody got the joke…” LOL?
“An industrious journalist noticed the final slide from David’s GDC deck which apparently proclaimed that we were hiring for a ‘massively…multiplayer action game.’ Ruh oh.
“Now, in rehearsal Aldridge was convinced that everybody got the joke. It was all in the delivery, he assured us, and he was certain it was clear that he was playfully riffing off of the recent rumours. Unfortunately, most people can’t figure David out – they can’t process him. And we don’t expect them to. You can’t process David Aldridge with a normal brain. You’d need tiger blood and Adonis DNA.”
