Halo 5 one week after launch made 400 million dollars in copies sold on an estimated budget of 100 million dollars. This was a game which included micro transactions. The franchise has been profitable even at its lowest in terms of fan appeal. Any claims that they need to change to f2p to maintain competitive in the free market is a lie. Microsoft is just greedy, plain and simple. This isn’t a return to roots, this isn’t the halo that maintains key features present in the franchise for a decade. This new model is an insult to halo fans and any defense on 343 part or Microsoft is complete bull. Stop defending these corporate decisions please.
