Subject: After Reach, Microsoft is going to -blam!- the Halo series

Thinking about what happens when they take over, I became sad. I thought of the Ratchet & Clank series, the Need For Speed series (excluding the originals for both[Actually, NFS Shift was really good]) and many other game franchises that have been ruined by sequel after sequel. I think of how awesome the Halo series have been, and how one day it'll be like pacman to my kids; they will ask me about it and how it was a staple of online play on video game consoles. Then, I get a sour taste in my mouth; I realize that Microsoft will milk this franchise (Halo) until there is nothing left. Not only with other games, but with cartoons as well (Halo Legends I think it is). Why can't they just leave it as-is and leave the awesomeness they way the fans remember. The way I hope to remember; not some game that had it's -blam!- raped by a corporate giant looking to make money.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

On the bright side, if Microsoft does milk Halo, the Master Chief definitely won't become as big of a sellout as Mario.

NOTHING can be a bigger sellout than Mario, NOTHING!!!

Golf Wang. Brony.

Just don't buy into all the extra stuff and stick with Bungie. The "shame" can't be that bad.

The anime series you are thinking of is called Halo: Legends and it looks cool. Seriously, I don't see Halo getting milked.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
And Spitfire pony
Is my Waifu <3

Look at many of the other series that are just really milked now. The Tranformers series, for example. They had a good, long running cartoon series, and it was amazing. Then they did a crappy anime series that lasted for less than a year. Then they made some crappy video games out of it, that no one ever plays anymore. And then the two movies. They were good, but they didn't even bother to use the original friggin theme. WTF is up with that?

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

It happens with every great series.
