you know what we took for granted: Bungie. thats right. we all thought we would never see the day when Bungie would sell this award winning franchise. but the did. we just though halo and bungie would be together forever like peanut butter and jelly. thats what i thought we took for granted.
As I recall they sold the franchise before Halo CE was released, as in Microsoft bought Bungie before the release of the first installment of the franchise. The franchise has been the property of Microsoft since then. Bungie bought itself from Microsoft but Microsoft remains owner of the Halo franchise as it has been for many years now.
