Part of the reason that happened with Halo is because Bungie lost the IP to Microsoft when they separated. Everything after Halo 3 was done by another studio that was part of M$. I believe it was called 343 Studios or something like that.

    Yeah. The point doesn't really change from this fact though.

    My intention wasn't so much to dispute your claim rather than to give context as to why it happened. Really the core of the issue is the fact that Microsoft was able to take the rights from Bungie at all.

    Most of the shit in our lives comes from these massive corporations just hoovering up all the smaller entities so there's less choice for the consumer.

    That's valid. It's also part of why I don't like capitalism. Once an entity becomes large enough, it has the capability to absorb all other businesses in its sector, and often transcend sectors and absorb all competition from that sector as well.

    If a company were motivated enough they could essentially buy all other companies and essentially run everything (probably right into the ground).

    Yay capitalism.
