I think the problem was that Bungie let their ego get in the way and could've made significant changes months ago when people were still interested.
I think the problem is that you are ignorant to the possibility that Bungie was contractually not allowed to touch Reach's hard code (i.e. a Title Update) after release.
First of all how would you know this and second, why would they not be allowed to fix a game with so many flaws? What I'm trying to say it would be in Microsofts best interest to keep their fans happy so they can take more of their hard earned cash with future releases?
I don't understand the logic behind this..
I don't know this... but then again I'm not the one saying such things like "Bungie let their ego get in the way" like a moron.
You're making the assumption that Bungie decided to just piss on all of us rather than make a level headed judgement about business.
Bungie was contracted to make another game. That contract does not have to include updating said game outside of things such as playlists and minor updates.
Microsoft signed a contract with 343i. That contract could include the updating of the game in the last line of the Halo series, which would be Reach.
Being as 343i is a new development company, no matter who heads it, Microsoft is putting their biggest franchise into an unproven company.
What's a good way to show you have the ability to handle such a task?
Make a re~make.
And take feedback from the prior game, that you are now taking control over, and updating it.
Because if 343i can't handle a TU and a re~make, what makes you think they can handle a blockbuster like Halo 4? And then Halo 5, and finally Halo 6?
So basically you're just guessing the same way I was guessing about their ego's? Nice one. A smart business move from Bungie would have been to let their fans know what was going on so they wouldn't make the assumptions that I and many others have made about them.
Also, it's great that 343 are picking up where Bungie left off but what I am asking was whether it was too late or not as I know many people have stopped playing Halo already.
