'''Bungie, Inc.''' (formerly '''Bungie LLC''' and '''Bungie Software Products Corporation''' prior to its emancipation from [[Microsoft]]) is a video game developer founded in 1991 by Jason Jones and Alex Seropian.


==History==
[[Image:BungieLogo.png|thumb|right|300px]]
===Founding===
{{Quote|The culture of Bungie was pretty simple. It was just a bunch of college kids who wanted to drink beer and eat pizza and do amazing cool stuff in their basements.|[[Chris Butcher]]}}
For much of the 1990s they developed a series of increasingly technically detailed [[first-person shooter]] (FPS) games for the Macintosh, the most famous being the ''[[Marathon]]'' series, following this with the acclaimed ''[[wikipedia:Myth (computer game)|Myth]]'' tactical-combat series for both the Mac and [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]]. Bungie games were particularly well-loved by players due to their complex back stories which often left more mysteries unexplained than revealed.


In 1997, Bungle Studios established Bungle West, a studio in California. However, the studio didn't last long and was shut down in 2000. Bungie West's only game was Oni.

'''Bungie Studios''' is a video game developer founded in 1991 under the name Bungie Software Products Corporation but shortened to Bungie Software. For much of the 1990s they developed a series of increasingly technically detailed [[first-person shooter]] (FPS) games for the Macintosh, the most famous being the ''[[Marathon]]'' series, following this with the acclaimed ''[[Wikipedia:Myth (computer game)|Myth]]'' tactical-combat series for both the Mac and [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]]. Bungie games were particularly well-loved by players due to their complex back stories which often left more mysteries unexplained than revealed.


===Creation of ''Halo'' series===
In 1999 they announced their next product was a return to the FPS genre, with a world-beating physics and [[wikipedia:Artificial intelligence|AI]] system, to be known as [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]] and to be released at the same time on both the Mac and Windows. On June 19, 2000, Microsoft announced that they had acquired Bungie Software and that Bungie would become a part of the Microsoft Game Division (subsequently renamed Microsoft Game Studios) under the name Bungie Studios. The original versions were soon delayed and the game was re-purposed for the [[Xbox]], with the Mac and Windows versions only shipping two years later when it was no longer the renowned product it would have been in late 2000. The Xbox version of Halo received the [[wikipedia:Game of the Year|Game of the Year]] and [[wikipedia:Console Game of the Year|Console Game of the Year]] awards for 2002 from the [[wikipedia:Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences|Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences]], is known as a system seller and as of 2004 is still a videogame bestseller. ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' has been one of the most critically acclaimed games over the last three years, and its sequel [[Halo 2]] has been called the 'most anticipated game of all time' by [[Wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] Xbox.

===End of partnership===
On October 5, 2007, Bungie and Microsoft announced an end to their partnership, effectively making Bungie an independent company again. The Halo Intellectual Property (IP) remains with Microsoft. Bungie employees have mentioned that there have been 'few noticeable changes' after the split.

===New partnership===
While not directly behind the program, Bungie oversaw and 'signed off' on the [[I Love Bees]] puzzle, named after the address of the 'hacked' [http://www.ilovebees.com bee-keeping website] around which the game revolves briefly appeared in the [[Halo 2]] theatrical trailer. They provided the I Love Bees designers with the [[Halo Story Bible]], allowing the story to fit to Bungie's specifics.
{{Quote|We are moving on. We're building something new, something totally different.|Eric Osbourne}}
On April 29, 2010, Bungie entered an exclusive 10-year partnership with Activision which will have exclusive, worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the new intellectual property on multiple platforms and devices. Bungie will remain as an independent company and will continue to own their intellectual property.<ref name="g4tv">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=25920 '''Bungie.net''': ''NON FACETE NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERINÆUM'']</ref> On [[2011|June 30, 2011]], Bungie announced "Bungie Aerospace", a platform to help small, independent mobile or social game developers launch their games.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/aerospace/ '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Aerospace'']</ref> On [[2019|January 10, 2019]], Bungie announced that they had parted ways with Activision, with the intellectual property rights to the ''Destiny'' franchise transferring to Bungie.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47569 '''Bungie.net''': ''Our Destiny > News | Bungie.net'']</ref>


===Purchase by Sony===
==Bungie Mythos==
On [[2022|January 31, 2022]], Bungie was acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment for $3.6 billion. Bungie intends to continue self-publishing cross-platform games.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50988 '''Bungie.net''': ''BUNGIE JOINS SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT  > News | Bungie.net'']</ref><ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50989 '''Bungie.net''': ''Destiny 2: Our Shared Vision > News | Bungie.net'']</ref>

[[Image:Pimps.jpg|thumb|Bungie's fake pirate game ''Pimps at Sea''.]]
Bungie, like many production companies, puts references to older games in newer games. Unlike others, many of these references hint or imply that a great deal of Bungie's games operate in similar or identical universes. Most well known of this is the connection between the ''Marathon'' universe and the ''[[Halo Universe|Halo]]'' universe, which share a great deal of similar names and themes (see [[List of Marathon references in Halo]]).


==Bungie Mythos==
While most believed that Bungie would never add a direct connection between these two games (just as they did not for Marathon and [[wikipedia:Pathways Into Darkness|Pathways into Darkness]]), its interesting to note that the [[I Love Bees]] puzzle did add a substantial connection between the ''Marathon'' universe and the ''[[Halo Universe|Halo]]'' universe: [[Rampancy]] can happen to [[AI]]s in both universes.

Another interesting fact about Bungie is their use of the number seven. Many of these are more obvious than others, including [[343 Guilty Spark]] (7 x 7 x 7 = 343), [[Marathon#The Pfhor|Pfhor]] Battle Group 7, and their official fan club, the 7th Column, but some of these are amusingly subtle: the Marathon colony ship was a hollowed out [[wikipedia:Deimos (moon)|Deimos]] - first discovered in 1877 and first photographed in 1977.

==Offshoot companies==
==Bungie West==
Many of Bungie's employees have left the company to form their own studios. Double Aught was a short-lived company comprised of several former Bungie team members, founded by Greg Kirkpatrick. The company helped Bungie develop Marathon: Infinity, the last game in the Marathon series.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/inside/history.aspx?link=juggernougat '''Bungie History''': ''The Juggernougat'']</ref>
In 1997, Bungie Studios established Bungie West, a studio in California. However, the studio didn't last long and was shut down in 2000. Bungie West's only game was Oni.


Wideload Games, creator of Stubbs the Zombie in "Rebel Without a Pulse", is another company that came from Bungie; It is headed by one of the two Bungie founders, Alex Seropian, and 7 out of the 11 employees previously worked at Bungie. Other companies include Giant Bite, founded by Hamilton Chu (former lead producer of Bungie Studios), and Michal Evans (former Bungie programmer), and Certain Affinity. Founded by Max Hoberman (the multiplayer design lead for ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''), the team of nine includes former Bungie employees David Bowman and Chad Armstrong (who later returned to Bungie) as well as folks from other developers. It collaborated with Bungie in releasing the last two maps for Halo 2.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=certainaffinitymaps '''Bungie.net''': ''New Halo 2 Maps Revealed!'']</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Over at Bungie.net, there is a forum [http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=25491975 thread] investigating 'Arete Seven', which is quite possibly Bungie's real name while Bungie is just their public name.
*The origin of the name "Bungie" came from the punchline of a very dirty joke that they are not allowed to mention to the public.
*Bungie employees have said that "Bungie" is a punchline to a really dirty joke as an excuse to get out of conversations before. At one time [[Alexander Seropian|Alex Seropian]] was quoted saying it's named Bungie because it sounded fun.<ref>[http://marathon.bungie.org/story/scrapbook.html '''Marathon.bungie.org''': ''The Marathon Scrapbook'']</ref>
*Bungie accepts resumes to the Bungie.net website via an email on the ''"Get Hired to Get Fire"'' page to work at the company and the [[Bungie Armor|flaming chestpiece]] is also given out to the new members.
*In [[Matchmaking]], Bungie employees feature the distinct Bungie logo beside their gamertags in order to distinguish themselves from the lowly "Bungie employee impersonators" in Pre-Game Lobbies.
*In the ''Halo'' universe, there is an engineering firm named [[Bungie Motor Works]].
