Interesting.

I don't think so. They got a "I'm busy, beat it kid" answer from somebody that knew what was going to happen but didn't what the blowback or waterworks, so they felt confident off it to put out a little statement although their heads were on the pike the entire time.

Wtf is a live services that you fakkits keep crying about?

I'm just happy that the we have rank matches with BR starts.

Nowadays players can't simply enjoy the fukkin game without "earning" some form of EXP, or leveling up, or unlocking some cosmetics with battle pass. I can't believe what gaming has turned into where players need a dog treat after a match.

fukk all that, just let me hop on and play a match with my prefer competitive settings. And we just got forge.

Its a different generation of gamers. This is the standard now. I dont need that shyt either but it im also not the audience being targeted. They figured out exp bars and unlocks give people that lil dopamine hit to feel like they are doing something, so all multiplayer games are full of these mechanics.

If anything, this is leftovers from the tenure of Ross and co. Pierre just got the studio head seat. They should let him cook.

• Atleast 95 employees laid off (FTE and contractor)
• Tatanka will be in Unreal Engine and may not be (just?) a battle royale
• No new story content for Infinite. New ideas were pitched for new Halo games in Unreal Engine but those folks were also impacted by layoffs

just kill the franchise and come with something new
