Ed Fries, the former vice president of game publishing at Microsoft, and the man central to Microsoft�s acquisition of Rare and Bungie, told Develop he had to personally broker a deal with Apple back in 2000 to appease the indomitable Macintosh boss.

 

�As soon as we announced we bought Bungie, Steve Jobs called,� Fries said.

�He was mad at [Microsoft CEO Steve] Ballmer and phoned him up and was angry because we�d just bought the premier Mac game developer and made them an Xbox developer.�
