A Pace or Two Back on Marathon

The news Microsoft was buying Activision for a fabulous sum did show up where I couldn’t miss it, but also had me supposing that not owning a video game console or even being able to play “PC games” (from this side of the millennium, anyway) detached me a bit from the moment. There’s a danger in looking too askew at “video game narratives,” though, or at least in making too big a deal of that. A few weeks later, there was an announcement Sony was buying Bungie, and with the games Bungie made on the far side of the millennium a few more thoughts drifted through my mind (although I’m at least aware Activision wound up owning Infocom.)
