You lost me when you say its stupid to milk a franchise.. stupid as a business? Far from it. Halo keeps making MS small fortunes hence why they keep making them. Its stupid to drop it.

Your logic - Lets tell Disney to stop making Star Wars movies because its stupid, they should make something new.

You know why MS continue to also make Halo? Because they have a dedicated company to do so and Halo continues to sell well and profits.

It isn't stupid to kill a franchise from milking? Ok then. You probably also think it's better to demand a dev to work on something against their will than to let they challenge themselves and get something even bigger.

By my logic if disney team wants to make more StarWars do it, but if the team doing it doesn't want to do, the result will be bad. And anyway for me SW is really only 4-6, the other ones I watch but care very little.

But as I said, if they want to keep making Halo and their userbase want to buy it, do it... funny although is how many times it was supposed to end with a specific game but they just gone and kept going. That means a company that have no capacity to create new things.

Why don't all movies are only sequels from the ones that made success on the 50's? Why aren't all books sequels until the writer dies? Per your reasoning when you do something that sell you should stuck yourself to do it.

And again I just provided you points that when MS do a franchise that sells good the dev is tied to it, which is what you try to deny, but then go and prove that it's what they do.

Your wrong.

1st - MS isnt milking the franchise, they claimed the Halo franchise has over 10 years of content. Halo has a huge following and they want more games made. 

2nd - 343i was created to sololy make Halo games for there fans and audience

3rd - No one is complaining Halo is being milked. Do you know what games Nintendo have been making for the past 30 years? Exactly. 

Killing off games because you think milking them to death is bad only works on franchises that gamers dont want. 

Sony do it with Polyphony with GT

ND did it with Uncharted

Nintendo do it with Mario, Zelda and Pokemon etc

The big differences between MS compared to Sony and Nintendo is they build dedicated companies to keep series going without locking devs in for life. Bungie was a unique case because Halo makes too much money which Sony and Nintendo would have done the same.

Rare is not a dedicated company built from the ground up to support SoTs. They will probably support it until it dies than make something new.
