9to5mac: Apple’s latest patents reveal that the company has plans to introduce its own game controller
I have trouble believing how much money there is in gaming. Apple should definitely get a piece of the action. Maybe buying a game company or 2 would be a start. Maybe buy Sony or Microsoft? Lots of gamer companies are trading near their 52 week lows. Apple could make a fortune with Call of Booty or some other popular game by just buying it and making it available free, selling stuff inside the App etc.. Kids love this stuff.

Just imagine if HALO had stayed on the Mac and Bungie had not sold out to Mr. Softy.... PS Thanks to the Rabid Bungie Fan Base I can still play HALO on my 2013 Trash Can running 10.14.6....

Of course the original Bungie title was Marathon, one of the first ever network-able games. Ironically I have a version of it on my Alienware laptop. Pretty cool game, scary tone. Recall that Apple makes money on its hardware, unlike Microsoft or Sony.

Believe it or not it's still playable on Mac with a bit of Software Magic! Still remember the awe of discovering the Grenade Launcher "Jumping Trick" Have a look here: Marathon
