Two things, that are obvious to gamers but really confused me:

Sony owns PlayStation.

This is the Bungie that made Halo. Yes, Microsoft owned them at one point, but sold them 15 years ago.

Also the same Bungie that made the Mac classic: Marathon.

> After showing the game at the Macworld Expo, Bungie was mobbed with interest and orders for the game. The game was not finished until December 14, 1994; Jones and a few other employees spent a day at a warehouse assembling boxes so that some of the orders could be filled before Christmas.[24] The game was a critical and commercial success,[27] and is regarded as a relatively unknown but important part of gaming history.[29] It served as the Mac alternative to DOS PC-only games like Doom and System Shock.[16] The game's volume of orders was unprecedented for the studio, who found that its old method of mail or phone orders could not scale to the demand and hired another company to handle the tens of thousands of orders. Marathon also brought Bungie attention from press outside the small Mac gaming market.[24]

They only need to be eventually bought by Nintendo and they'll have gone through everything.
