I think people like me are the result of lack of Halo on PC; people who have some kind of distaste towards the franchise, which is more of a superstitious stuff resulting in unknowing rather than having any solid background reason. That is why the best cure is to simply give it a try. Even if Halo shooters were exclusively released on MicrosoftStore, the campaign would score big success. The drawback is that XBOX would suffer on that. Do I really have to buy XBOX to play Halo? See, this is where the roads split. Nowadays there are just enough games around. How long Halo will still make it as a lure in favour of XBOX, with somewhat dropping tendency in reception, from what I observe?
There’s a thread on Halo/PC stuff kicking around. You don’t need to make a new one.
