Does anyone know why someone decided to take “Halo: Fall of reach” and “Halo Legends” off of Netflix? I woke up today to find that it was missing and i’m just a tad bit annoyed.
It is not just these two titles, everything related to Halo has been removed, including Red Vs Blue. Two reasons I can think of, either they were not getting enough viewers per month so they got rid of it, or Microsoft or 343 had them remove it, but I highly doubt it was the latter.

That is the most likely reason

I fail to see what this has to do with the Halo Universe subforum, which is for talking about the story aspects of the Halo franchise. This should have been posted in General or something.
That being said, yes, when it comes to movies and series appearing or disappearing, all comes down to views per license fee. Netflix is not simply given the movies to play, they have to pay a licensing fee for that content to appear on the platform. Before streaming was a big deal, no one really cared and Netflix grabbed all the content that helped it get huge for pennies on the dollar, comparatively. Now that streaming IS a big deal, corporations began charging Netflix more and more for the licenses, which is part of why Netflix began investing so heavily into making original content (most of which was terrible and cost them more money in the long run). And they also went and basically bought Bollywood (Indian Hollywood) and flooded the platform with terrible, cheap content from a foreign country that most Americans were not going to watch.
It’s also when I cancelled my subscription and moved on to just using Amazon Prime video, which has more general content as well as higher quality original series. You can actually BUY Halo Legends and Fall of Reach on Amazon Prime video for a couple of dollars and watch it as much as you want, if that helps. The most likely reason everything Halo was removed was A: poor view to cost ration, B: A larger shift to Showtime or HBO, and C: RoosterTeeth has been pushing their own streaming service for a couple of years now and probably wants more viewers and paying customers for it.
The contract for streaming may have just run out. Now that Netflix is done with it, someone else may be able to make a bid and run them for a bit.
