Price will obviously be a big factor, but unlike Microsoft, Steam is capable of NOT stepping on the rakes in front of them... sometimes.

Yeah, I think I gotta start saving now, because next year looks expensive. I've been wanting to drop Xbox because... well look at them, but I still want a console-ish experience for my PC. That Steam Machine probably has me, but the VR headset looks tops too.

Gigantic 2: Layoffs due to poor performance, management unaffected boogaloo

I have about as good a job as they get these days, and I really do miss freelancing full time.

Every great studio does it. Look at naughty dog, fromsoft etc. things need to be allowed to end. Sadly Microsoft want bankable franchises, not great studios.

I'm not sure what the worse fate would be for BioWare at that point.

Honestly, MS will just buy the IP if anything, to add to their dragon's hoard.

Yu-Gi-Oh got your back

Yeah I know, and I'll play it because it'll feel great, but MS needs to accept that they're not Nintendo, they don't have these big forever franchises.

They need new ideas.

Or they could just buy another publisher, I guess, that always works out well for everyone involved.

I mean, the real answer is that Halo needs to be allowed to die, and 343 should be allowed to make something new.

But if not, at least let them stick to a plan for more than one game.

Where's my single-player DLC at? Where's the new biomes? Gimmi desert, gimmi snow.

Can't wait for the next Halo to be a big time jump with Infinite's story threads wrapped up off-screen. I'm sure it'll work this time.
