Bungie opposes SOPA, mostly because it 'sucks'

4.8
Everyone at Bungie thinks SOPA "sucks," according to a new post on its News board. Bungie, formerly of the Halo franchise, joins a growing list of developers and companies opposing SOPA, and urges its audience to take action against the bill.

"Bungie is opposed to any legislation that curtails free speech, stifles innovation, and prevents the open sharing of information on the Internet," Bungie's position reads. "SOPA fits that bill. If it passes, it will hurt our community, the gaming community at large, and it could very well cripple the kind of games we love to create and play.

"Just like online piracy, that would be downright criminal."

note: Zerkos and Crucify read everything!

xMasterJPx This SOPA **** is absolutely gay! If this bill were to be passed, TTG will lose a valuable number of members from America and if this bill is passed, TTG would be one of many sites forced to be shut down, due to it being an owned and functioned website in America, being that it deals with a large amount of glitches, modding, free downloads, etc. etc. it gives our wack **** government enough evidence to shut it down! So I'm glad Activision, IW, 3Arc, Bungie, 343, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, etc. all the massive companies, even Wal-Mart, are opposing this bill because it will truly cripple this economy if it passes, they have no idea what it will do, because all congress gives a **** about is money, if it's passed, well if your reading this Congress Members you can say bye to your money, because there will be none to use because you severely hurt the economy by taking away the one thing that helps fuel what we have left to fuel with!
could you slow down please, possibly make that into an organized paragraph? See what you wrote felt like an attempted grammar r@pe! Thank you

-_-Nate-_- This shows how much time our government has on there hands, why can't they could do something more important with there time (like help "correct" the economy); instead of trying to pass something that will just make more "citizens" want to "hate-on the government".
I don't want this bill to pass, but I would like to see what will happen in the future if it is passed.

Dude you're SOOOOO right. The government's job right now is supposed to make the people actually like them again, but that's clearly not going to happen if they're more on destroying what people are so dependent on.



Heres a better Idea, Lets have a Rebellion. We shall overthrow the U.S government and then put the laws in the citizens hands. I know this would never happen. But never say never. I hate the U.S, when I turn 18yr I'm moving to the Uk and getting a British GF. I wanna marry her then become a citizen of the Uk.

I don't think it's that easy to get a Brit girlfriend and just marry her, lolz. If only the world worked like that, haha...

SOPA is stupid. The fact is that they'll still be making millions upon millions of dollars anyways so why mourn over loss of a few million due to pirating. Grubby ***holes.
