Spencer: People play Co-Op via Xbox Live, that may be the reason for no Split Screen Co-Op in Halo 5

What games do you split-screen lovers play? I used to like it as much as the next guy but lately I've been playing Gears UE with my wife and meh, it simply isn't the same anymore when you mostly play online co-op full screen. So I completely understand their reasoning, I find it hard to believe there would be much demand for split these days.

It's the reason I bought another xbox one controller with Resident Evil Revelations 2.  :(  Sadly, that was the last time I played local co-op.

Yeah but Xbox gamers like you and me, we're the alpha dogs among men, you'll have someone to share the screen with you in no time 😉

And seriously this overreacting here.. No local co-op in one game contradicts nothing he said about VR. There's still sport games, Lego games, motion control games etc to play with friends and family. I can understand people being upset with Halo5 because of it but they made the decision not to make compromises with local co-op. If it backfires maybe they do something else next time.
