Despite the overarching controversy, this is a sort, simple refute to the fanboy excuse of '343 changed this game to appeal to a broader audience excuse'. The funny thing is, it's actually true. But just like how 343 doesn't understand what made Halo popular, Microsoft and their investors don't understand what made it PROFITABLE. What they fail to understand is that most people don't own just ONE game. This is true of at least 99% of all Halo players. And chances are, at least 50% of them, in addition to Halo, also had... CALL OF DUTY. In their desperate gambit to attract the 'casual' player that plays COD, they failed to realize THEY ALREADY HAD THEM. In short, Microsoft thinks they will continue to make a bunch of money...but they stand to lose everything. WE stand to lose Halo. So stop using that excuse. It's only reinforcing a bad financial decision. Investors may be in it to make money, but that doesn't mean they always make wise decisions. In fact, a large group of people does not guarantee wise decisions. Take a look at this video, and see if you can find parallels between what I've said and what happened in this historical situation. Microsoft, 343, and their investors are just as likely to make silly mistakes when it comes to looking at statistics. They thought "WOW! So many people are playing COD, maybe we can get them to play this game instead!" when in reality...they already were. But now they're not, because why buy a game it's the same as the other? So I suppose that it's also hilariously true when fanboys say that people who abandon Halo aren't hardcore Halo fans...That's because many of them also played COD. I guess fanboys and haters are both right...too bad nobody's a winner. Excuse me while I laugh my buttocks off, reattach it, and laugh it off again.
