Kudos to Merkinjata for passing this bit of news on to us. ShugaShack is reporting that seven new companies have joined the PowerPlay initiative, including Bungie. Here's a cut from the anouncement at ShugaShack:
PowerPlay, an effort to make the Internet a better entertainment platform, gained momentum this week as six leading game development studios and content and Internet tools developer, Applied Microsystems, joined the initiative. The latest additions to the list of developers who have gone on record in support of PowerPlay are:
- Bungie -- Oni and Halo.
- Dynamix -- Tribes, Tribes 2.
- Gas Powered Games -- Dungeon Siege.
- Jellyvision -- You Don't Know Jack, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
- Nihilistic -- Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
- Raven Software -- Soldier of Fortune, Star Trek: Elite Force, Hexen 2
Wanting to verify this, I jumped to the PowerPlay website and sure enough, Bungie's logo is crunched in among all of the others. I'm interested in what statements Bungie might make on the issue.
