ditto (Gaming)

Again, none of this excuses the state of the game. I really have no interest in playing the blame game (other than simply wanting to fulfill my curiosity about what happened behind the scenes). But acting like 343 is out to screw you is just plainly immature. I’m not saying you or anyone else should “trust” them. I certainly don’t. But my feelings towards 343 come down to the quality of their work. I don’t trust them to ship a game that I will enjoy, or one that performs technically as well as I’d want (Halo 4 and 5 were largely good in that area, but MCC is a pretty darn big blemish on their record).

I never said they were out to screw me. That doesn’t change the fact that they did screw me and countless other consumers. That doesn’t mean they didn’t know and yet still release an absolutely busted product followed by other wildly inaccurate and outright false promises and expectations. On top of their H4 transgressions. Or the almost entirely misleading marketing campaign for H5. They’re good at lying, their games end up very busted or missing a bunch of features that take years to fix or be provided, and they’re a bad company. Bungie’s mistakes and shadiness still are nothing in comparison. It’s started coming close and making me worried if they deserve the 343 treatment, but their games actually work. Plus, we may have a Taken King type thing on the way. Worked wonders for D1. Not much Destiny stuff worth talking these days, but oh man is there hope for the future. 343? Halo is dead and died years ago.

See, I suspect that's a lie. If Halo was dead for you, then you wouldn't feel the need to go off half cocked saying the same things you've said 100 times before every single time anyone so much as mentions the game. Why do you still care? Don't you think that anyone who's been around here for any length of time already knows what you think about it all? Your caustic rhetoric on the subject was old and overexposed YEARS ago. Do you get so offended every time anyone likes something you don't?

At least when I go off on The Last Jedi I'm doing so in part to figure out why I didn't like it and the movie's only been out a few months. We know by now how you feel about 343 and the MCC.
