It's not over-saturating if the consumer demands it.

If Micro$soft ruins the franchise by over saturating the market,
I'm not disagreeing here. My post was meant as from now, into the future.
I won't deny the reasons for Bungie to go with Microsoft, nor will I deny that it was necessary at the time, nor will I deny how it helped Bungie and set them up to be where they are today.
I also believe that Bungie got here, with the assistance of Microsift, and a sh**load of hard work and very, very long hours on their part.
I think that the Microsoft guy in the video is genuine in his feelings towards Bungie as well as Halo.
I'm just saying that anything is possible, and one bad decision for the franchise can spell certain doom in this insanely competitive games market.
I have no fear that 343 and Microsoft will treat the franchise with the respect it has earned in the future years, I also have no doubt that Bungie split with Microsoft on amicable terms.
I wasn't trying to be a troll, so this is my reclarification. =)
I loveses me some Halo, and I loveses me some Microsoft (Xbox).
Halo will be perfectly fine in 343's hands, but I worry because Halo is easily my favorite game series. And you always worry about the things you love, because you care so much.
And Urk, when you can, please talk to us more. I understand that with the focus on the new IP, that everyone has to go much more silent, but I do loves your witty banter.
In closing, I'm not trolling. I worry for the Halo franchise simply because I care. But if it does fail, I will play Reach and all of the Halos until the 360 servers are shut off. Then I will play them offline. Not out of hatred, but because they are such great games.
That is a contingency plan, not a premonition
I am absolutely positive that this most beloved of franchises will be just fine for many years to come. =)
And when Bungie drops their new IP/game, I'll most likely play the sh** out of that too. lmao If it's anything resembling their most recent shooters, I have no doubt that I will be hopelessly addicted to it. ;-D
