Someone (not calling out who) said this verbatim about 5. What does everyone else think about this? I NEED to know. (PLEASE TELL ME YOU DON"T BELIEVE THIS -Yoink-!!!)
EDIT: He was referring to microtransactions.
Umm No I don’t like that quote at all.
Edit: I don’t really understand this quote.
What does this quote even mean? We need context because this can be interpreted in many different ways.

In context, yes it was true (it took me about 3 seconds to find what you were referencing so I’m not sure if this is considered calling out or not.) I find your attempts to poison the well to be disheartening though. If you don’t want honest opinions this poll seems utterly pointless.
Now, whether you like it or not many if not most of the decisions involved in every form of entertainment you enjoy are not focused on the player, watcher, reader, or consumer. Some are just a matter of making things happen. The best actor would push production back a month or cost too much, so they go with choice number three. This hurts the consumer, but benefits the production. In the case it was initially used, a common source of money that I personally dislike sweeps the industry and so it is implemented in the game whether we like it or not and upon that implemented in a way to minimize the damage they would normally cause.

So… what is option #3? The damage that, what would normally cause? Pretty vauge in general please specify

Microtransactions.

Benefit the company WAY more. SO much money. also if purchasing with req points you are earning less than minimum wage. WAY less

Why am I earning less than minimum wage if I pay with RP? They give us free updates, the HCS, more resources for halo 6’s development, and a req pack. What’s so bad about that?

The third choice actor. I. E. The guy who wasn’t as good as the first two choices. The guy you usually end up with if you make a movie.
The post you were referencing was about micro transactions. In some games that have them they are an absolute necessity. They will design levels that you can’t beat unless you pay that dollar or they will make it so that the pay to win aspects are so necessary that you have to pay large sums of cash just to play the game. For example a certain ship combat game where if you don’t spend about 80 dollars on micro-transactions you can’t even function much less compete. Halo 5 on the other had only has microtransactions that have an effect on three playlists and the pay to win element is minimized. The only way having bought req packs benefits you is if you have two perfectly matched teams otherwise. The team that has more experience, more skill, better communication, and better team work will always win. If you have two teams that are perfectly evenly matched, then and only then will who has spent money (or more money) on reqs matter. I have everything in the game. (aside from the Stuff you had to buy.) I’ve gotten two of the month of mythic packs and I haven’t spent a penny on req packs. I can compete without needing to. I can win without needing to. When the launched the Bane pack, I redeemed points for it. Over that week I used about a dozen banes and never called in one.

Ok. The price of a gold pack is 3$. you earn that from, lets say 1 hour and a half if lucky. 3$ for more than an hour… Is what I mean.
Actually that “Free DLC” is patches. Not DLC. DLC is NOT mandatory and adds EXTRAS to the game, not features that were in previous halos or patches. Facts.
Microsoft is paying for halo 6. Not req packs.

Aah. was pretty vague but I get it now. Still what about almost every movie now having good actors? You are telling me that most movies don’t have the actors most directors wanted? I don’t think so but if so please at least tell me a little on why.
Yes, I edited my original post to match. And I’m sure, is quite criminal if you ask me. I know is still minimized but still there.Also basically every match is evenly matched because I don’t play with a team of 8… All randos. And I’m happy for you, I really am, but seriously man how long did it take you to get all that? Way too long if you ask me.

No, they usually don’t. There are a lot of decisions made that have absolutely nothing to do with what people want. Are you familiar with Back to the Future? What if I told you that the movie was partially shot with an actor other than Michael J. Fox at the behest of the studio. That He had been first choice and was unavailable so they wasted time and money on production with a guy named Eric Stoltz only to refilm those scenes when the studio signed off on the guy they wanted.
Very few films or productions of any kind get what their first choices. They always have to make sacrifices. Nothing ends up the way people intend it and rarely is it ever designed for the consumer. You write a book or a script and then have it get rewritten by someone who had no clue what you were going for. You really want to make a movie with a brilliant practical monster? Oh, I’m sorry you’ve run out of funds and have to settle for half-hearted CGI. It’s just the way things are. You have to make sacrifices.
What is quite criminal? Micro-transactions? Again I don’t like them I think they take advantage of children and the weak willed, but they are legal.
Very few matches are evenly matched, much less the hypothetical perfect match I described. They simply don’t happen that way. I run solo too and I’ve yet o be in match where I thought I suffered a loss, because I won’t buy req packs.
Not that long. I played when I felt like and that was it. I followed the bronze, silver, gold pattern that I recommend everyone does. The only thing I really, really wanted was my helmet.

If playing halo 5 is considered work to you, then you should stop playing.
No, the updates are DownLoadable Content. You download the content onto your Xbox. That is literally DLC. You say “facts,” but it follows up things that are not true. The only real things that were in the updates that should’ve been in launch were playlists, forge, and a content browser. All the other maps, skins, forge pieces, WZ firefight, weapons, vehicles, assassinations, emblems, and stances are all extra. Do you think those were mandatory? They were the bulk of the updates after all.
Microsoft doesn’t have unlimited money. If they did, they’d give out everything for free. Every dollar helps to grow the budget of halo 6. Fact.

Halo 3. DLC was basically mandatory after a while unless you wanted locked out of playlists.
This isn’t verbatim, actually. Missing a pretty important word. I’m calling myself out because I firmly believe that my meaning (which the op didn’t let me explain), was fair, logical, and justified.
I specifically said “doesn’t have to benefit the players DIRECTLY”. In addition, I explain(Because OP jumped the gun like an unstable child who refuses to look for clarification) Under no circumstances can a business decision be allowed to HURT players, but not every BUSINESS DECISION has to BENEFIT the players.
I guarantee you, every single business in the world makes decisions that ONLY affect their employees or their business practices or ways of working. Decisions that fans literally never have to see. In addition, I feel that micro-transactions in Halo 5 was a decision to benefit the employees and the developmental process, not to hurt the players. A bad decision, in my opinion, but not one done with evil intentions.
An interesting experiment, @OP, but ultimately it lacked important context and fair representation.

ok then
I don’t care about reward that much, but I despise REQ system. There are times when I want something and I am locked into this system. The two options given to me are paying overpriced REQ packs with money or spend my precious time to get something I never know.
