Why would you try and destroy a great game? Is it because y’all can’t get anyone to buy your horrible micro transactions in halo infinite? Because of that you’re going to ruin the one game you have going for you? Seriously 343 what actually is wrong with you. The micro transactions in halo infinite killed the game for me and plenty of people like me. So if you want that to happen again for a game with an already low player count then you don’t deserve the right to make a game. Some Diablo immortal type evil has to be holding y’all hosted for y’all to think of the horrendous ideas y’all consistently have had over the past decade.

This. It’s unbelievable. I hope the community can make it clear that this is not ok.

There has to be internal sabotage, i cant believe a company can make that many bad decisions back to back.
Maybe some of the executives, employees or higher ups want to leave but cant for some reason, so they try to alienate the remaining fans and kill the franchise so they can finally move on? Of course that’s purely speculations but on the other hand its just humanly impossible to mess up that many times for so long.
I mean c’mon, how is adding microtransactions to a game that is almost a decade old with a low playerbase
a smart and viable marketing decision? And why did it even crossed their mind in the first place?? That has to be one of the lowest IQ move i have seen from the studio so far

It’s actually quite the opposite. When Microtransactions were introduced to gaming they were originally designed to support (actual f2p games to produce content, etc…). Infinite is not a “f2p game”. It’s a f2p PvP and nothing more, and 343 plans are to rely on the player base to create content with the forge world.
Nowadays microtransactions are designed mainly just for profit with little or no effort at all to actually support a game as their intended purpose.
Since they were introduced, the outdated excuses for a companies deliberate poor actions that a “company needs the money” is only half-truths given the actual fact that Halo never needed to be “a live service game”. But the worst excuse I have ever heard from any business especially a multi-billion dollar business working on their way to being a trillionaire using the excuse that they “needed to pay for the severs” as their main excuse to base the game around the shop. Players may use if they want that the cost has gone up to produce a game, etc… even though this is true (they refuse to face the actual fact that the players that buy from a shop nowadays has tripled if not quadrupled since microtransactions were introduced to gaming.)
Case and point, mobile games make triple the amount of profit if not more vs what some gaming companies do. Hell, Activision made 1.2 billion within 3 months from players buying from shops. So as you are wondering why? you might want to look at the player base and even just this community on how many actually support microtransactions.
The interesting thing about all this. If a gaming business put the effort into creating a quality type of game as the effort they do with a shop, their player base would be a much larger player base and their profit would double what they are making now when it comers to microtransactions.
It would be a win for both the player base and 343/Microsoft. But what do we know right?
