Although some 'purists,' such as myself, prefer to think of non-bungie legal ownership as nothing more than the leveller trying to divert us from the tru7h.
I find some of the Myth III story stuff to be such crap, that I prefer to keep it as far away from Bungie canon as possible, so as not to confuse the facts.
Besides, TakeTwo doesn't give a rat's patoot about Myth anyways. Since any further development would be by the community, I prefer to think of the storyline of Myth III to be nothing more than a diversion.
Just my $.02
