Just as other sites (DailyGame, TeamXbox, SPOnG) are picking up the same rumor promulgated by a quote of Microsoft's J. Allard in a Seattle Post-Intelligencer article we heard about from HBO, Louis Wu lets us know that Bungie has deflated the tires on this one: Bungie is not increasing its staff any time soon.
Other news of note:
- First Halo 2 Championship in the UK
- Major Nelson: This is not the next Xbox
- Microsoft to give Japanese developers free rei: Eurogamer
- Another interview with Brian "SketchFactor" Jarrard from his tour of Asia; thanks again Louis Wu.
