It’s like the DBO version of Beatlejuice, except you say “343” and you only need to say it once :)

Game Pass (reply)

A big part of this (I think) is that MS wanted to put it into Game Pass to get people to subscribe to that. It's probably a non-negligible amount of people who grab it to play MCC for cheap and if they like the service than it's recurring revenue in the future which more than makes up the cost to fix up the MCC. Plus it might convince people to give Halo Infinite a try.

The whole MCC renovation is fascinating to me. It shows true dedication on 343’s part. Lots of companies release broken games (and no, I’m NOT giving them a pass on it), but the amount of time and effort that they’ve put into fixing and then improving the collection is great to see.

Plus, my curiosity around the whole MCC fiasco is quite high. The tiny little drops of info that I’ve heard over the years make it sound like the studio at large was caught utterly by surprise when the game shipped and didn’t work (which if true points to a very different situation than the typical buggy/broken game launch, where devs usually have a pretty good idea of what they’re shipping). I don’t know if that’s accurate, or what the possible explainations might be, but the part of me that is fascinated by games development would love to one day hear the whole story.

Ahaha. You’re giving them way too much credit. No need to elaborate. MCC is fixed and beyond that, Halo is dead. Just enjoy the MCC. Don’t worry about motives or who knew what when and all that, because it’ll just sour everything that actually finally got dealt with. MCC is great now, and they’re working on making playlist searching even better (so that all of H4, which is still trash, can be uninstalled). It’s glorious. Get your MCC running and enjoy.

Oh and to expand on Kermit, yes, kornman is the true hero of this tale of MCC fixing. Obviously not just him, but a ridiculously major part of it.

Yeah. I can't imagine they're making a profit on it anymore. Even if they come back and sell Reach in the future, it's not going to sell a lot and they won't be able to price it anywhere near a full game. So yeah... I love that they're keeping my favorite classic games alive, but I'm not really sure why they're doing it...

Maybe they're just keeping people busy as the next Halo is in preproduction??

The cynical part of me thinks that the dedication is only such because of Halo 5’s relatively poor sales and the negative response to the campaign. I think they need to demonstrate their dedication so people will give Halo Infinite a shot. If Halo 5 sold like Halo 3 they would probably not be trying so hard with MCC.

He's one of the main guys at 343 working on the excellent renovation of the MCC collection. All that digging into code over the years paid off.

Man that's an old name drop. Is he at 343 or did he work on the original demo?

to my buddy kornman00. You did get the play the E3 demo--with everybody watching! I bet it was surreal. I'm excited about the work you're doing. Congrats!

It was touchy, sure, but no where near as touchy as I was (or Sketch or Frankie, apparently were) led to believe.

Lots of stories about that demo in the book :-)

But it’s not really playable. If you went off the path even slightly or looked the wrong way it would crash.

Are you aware that this was proven untrue just yesterday on the Halo community stream? lol

Link please. Multiple people have said that demo was touchy.
