Is 'Halo'-Creator Bungie Leaving Microsoft?

Rumors have been flying that the developers at
Bungie Studios are tired of making
Halo games and are leaving Microsoft behind. According to the rumors, shareholders have bought the Bungie name from papa Gates for an undisclosed, but significant sum of money. The rumored deal also has Microsoft retaining the rights to the Halo series and first shot at publishing titles from the developers.
There has been no official confirmation from either Microsoft or Bungie as of yet, but we've gotta say we'd find it more likely that all of the developers would up and leave to form their own company rather than pay an absurd sum of money to Microsoft for the name Bungie. In the meantime, we'll just have to wait and see if these rumors pan out.

Its the sixth game they made in the same milieu. Young and / or console only players just are not "in the know". At 2+ year development cycles, they've been making these games for over 13 years, starting with the first release in 1994:

Personally, I would like to see another Myth game from "Game studio X", formerly known as Bungie.
