In the video above, we’ve attempted to answer this “what if” in the latest episode of our alternate history series, Versus. a different Steve bought the studio? Could Halo: Combat Evolved, a legendary first-person shooter on consoles, have given Mac gaming the boost it desperately needed in 2001? Could the Xbox have found a different killer app? And what might an Apple-dominated game industry look like today? What if, instead of Microsoft’s then-CEO, Steve Ballmer, buying Bungie. Instead, the game revolutionized first-person shooters on consoles and became the crown jewel of Microsoft’s Xbox. It’s a surreal clip: The “iCEO,” complete with iconic black turtleneck, proudly introduces Jason Jones, Bungie’s co-founder, but not before hyping Halo as “one of the coolest I’ve ever seen!” Of course, Halo would not end up as a third-person shooter, like in this clip, nor would it launch on Mac ( at least not immediately).
