I really don’t understand how they fukked Halo up.
It was an exclusive and the most popular FPS in the world.

I remember Frank Oconnor before he joined Bungie when he was just the editor of a gaming magazine. He joined Bungie as a community director posting blogs. Not sure what his positioned evolved into actually being. Hopefully he left cause of family reasons and not because 343 Sucks.
The original people who made the game left

What have MS done since the 360 era? That’s the last time I had one of their consoles, they haven’t dropped that many interesting games imo and y’all can check my psn file I play more games than a lot of you.
The saddest fumble to me and my people is Gears, that was the weekend game of choice and it still baffles me how they fukked that up
Oh what’s next Dead Island 2? I’ll be playing that Thursday

Wishful thinking, they are already spread thin and have even more platforms to develop for now with Nintendo in the mix.
CoD MW was released during Halo 3 lifespan. Before that, there was no competition. Just Counter Strike on PC. Early Halo's benefits from lack of competition.
Good. If the creative direction of the franchise was constantly flip flopping from game to game you were a bad Franchise Creative Director.
Blame the fans.

They should have just let Bungie make Destiny. It would have been like letting Naughty Dog move on from Uncharted, a natural progression to a new big IP.
Clinging to IP makes no sense for anyone outside of nintendo
Yeah, but that's a lot easier to say in hindsight than it was at the time. Absolutely no executive in their right kind would let Bungie entertain the thought of leaving Halo behind right after what was one of the most successful launches of all time. If anything, you could say Sony is more flexible due to what happened with Bungie, not just simply in contrast of that.

If the devs who created the franchise and made it successful then let them at dip their toes in something else, they’re telling hey we’re tired of this we need to create something new. I’m happy they left Destiny is my favorite game going by hours played and has way more concurrent players than Halo if we’re going Steam Charts
Halo Reach clearly laid the foundation for Destiny and now Bungie is part of PlayStation what a colossal fukk up
