You say that like people care about your respect, like, who are you? Some guy on the internet.

No one is trying to gaslight you. Microsoft being motivated primary by profits shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s the same with Amazon, Netflix, Apple, EA, etc. They are motivated by profits. Everything else plays second fiddle. In fact, Corporations have an obligation to try and make money for their shareholders. It’s nothing ground breaking. Now, as to the developers at 343, we can try and guess their motivations. But Microsoft is motivated by money.

@Trand0 Bro do you live so deep underground you have no knowledge of how the CSGO skin market was? You’re not worth any more of my time. Nonsensical person.
Ots more of the how they took the 48 default colors in Halo 5 have us 10 in Halo infinite and are trying to sell us the other 38… how much does brown cost agaim
I turned $300 spent on loot boxes into 2 months rent and utilities in 2016 from skin gambling and sales during that time.
But that time is long gone and still factually irrelevant to the point of the topic and argument lol.
Can we get back to the topic of discussion where we left off? Where I pointed out that a paid game had so much of a cheating problem the Devs pawned the responsibility of identifying the perpetrators off on the players?
Oof, couldn’t even retort the point before the insults started flying.
“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser”
Good chat, happy holidays 
As if that justifies 343 stripping the game to Barbone to sell it in pieces.
Boy, you fixed everything for everyone 
You haven’t debated a single thing. In fact, you continue to prove my point for me further and further. It’s actually so absurd that you cannot wrap your mind around this concept or even concede the notion that any cheaters at all could possibly be deterred from cheating if a monetary punishment exists, that at this point, I’m convinced you’re just a forum troll. Here’s your last morsel of food, troll.
Merry Christmas.

Buddy the argument was whether F2P invites more cheaters than a paid to play experience.
It has nothing to do with loot boxes, acquiring free loot, or former 3rd party skin trading/gambling systems, I love bragging a little bit when someone brings that up, couldn’t help myself, but it’s still irrelevant to the topic we’re discussing.
I think you’re trying to divert attention away from the argument because you realized I’ve made a point you can’t argue against.
So again, this is where where left off
Do you want to stay on topic? Or concede by continuing to strawman/slinging unwarranted mean spirited comments my way?
I actually liked the stream 343 put on earlier, and I found the segment with Jerry Hook pretty reassuring. Hopefully, they not only follow through with all of what was presented (and fairly quickly) but also the many other issues both large and small that many players have expressed soon after these first several are addressed.
They could have got 60 dollars from real halo fans for a complete game but instead get you, giving them NOTHING and defending their horrible monetization lol

If the game is good, people will buy it.
What does this mean? Elaborate
If the game is good, the developers will get a lot of money, because a lot of people will buy it. If the dlc is good, they will get even more money, because more people will buy it. It is very simple
Except history has always repeated itself when it comes to paid dlc.
Half the community buys dlc which costs a quarter of the game. Population gets split and playerbase decreases overtime.

Halo never had that problem because it was popular. It was popular because it was good. Its ranking system was why people kept playing it. Good games can maintain a population many years after release.
This is ridiculous. There is no excuse for $20 cosmetics……
If you think that this makes them the new EA, then like… everyone is basically EA at this point. Have you actually looked at how much cosmetics go for these days on practically every online game?
I think my original point flew over your head.
If the game has already made most of it’s potential revenue in the first couple of months, what encourages developers to continue adding updates, maps, weapons, etc. Unless they sell it, and not everyone is going to pay for it. I get the older Halos were popular, but not everyone spent money on the map packs. I didn’t end uo getting then until I got ODST. And we got like 6-8 maps as dlc in 3? Look at how much content Halo 5 got in 2 years.

No this is just a Microsoft issue
I can’t tell if this is a serious post or not. But like, you can just load up popular modern F2P games and see $20+ cosmetics.

Lmao obviously joking. COD you can spend $20 on 3 weapon blueprints and a nameplate. These kind of threads just make me laugh tbh
