They really need to learn how to make their own ips. I will enjoy tomb raider but this is twice now.

Halo and gears are IPs that were bought from outside developers. If you look at the list of IP created or spawned from Microsoft owned studios the list Is rather paltry.

Bungie was bought by Microsoft. Not Halo

Bungie was bought solely for Halo. Microsoft was going to try to make them work on Halo for the rest of their natural lives and they decided to move on. Microsoft was like "Thats cool, as long as you give us time to build our own team and we can keep Halo".
