The BUG that made HALO #gamedev #games #shorts
7In 1998, Tyler's excitement for a new game on his Mac PC turned to dismay when a crash erased his hard drive. This event is part of the larger narrative of how "Halo" became an exclusive for Xbox. Initially, Bungie, the creators of "Halo," primarily developed for Mac. However, a critical bug in one of their popular games, "Myth 2," which could erase a user's hard drive, put the studio in financial jeopardy. Microsoft seized this opportunity, acquiring Bungie and commissioning them to develop an exclusive first-person shooter for the soon-to-launch Xbox. This collaboration led to the creation of "Halo," a game that not only became iconic for Xbox but also played a crucial role in preventing the console from being a commercial failure.
