Who said mainline? I said Halo is being released yearly between mainline, remaster, collection, spin-offs, etc. That makes the game being released every year, so don't try to dismiss it on someone lack of knowledge. Star Wars is to Disney a new IP they just bought, so? I don't miss the point. Rock Band and Guitar Hero also had huge following and sales until they dried it out. Halo have been losing sales since 4. But sure MS will keep doing it until it isn't profitable anymore. How me saying the series was to end on 2 and 3, with Bungie wanting to finish on 3 is silly? You just proved my point that the series was to end, but MS made it keep going to milk it out. If Bungie left to make a game similar to Halo and will do it for another 10 years, that is their choice. Case in point is that they could have been doing it inside of MS if they weren't demanded to keep doing Halo. About Mojang, I wasn't aware of those 2 games, where they even big releases or micro pet projects like SSM do when helping small teams? What excuse on PD? They are an independent company that have their own book, with Kazunori being president and taking the decisions also having made games outside of GT. You call it excuse because you can't counter? Do you have the contract of those devs to be sure about it? Because what we have is more evidence of MS keeping devs doing the same thing when it sells then they doing new IPs. And what downplay? You have real spin capacities. |
Mate Halo gets released yearly however those devs aren't locked into making Halo games. Those devs are contracted to make 1 or 2 and they normally change after that. 343 is the brand designed to make Halo games, and they release them every 3 years. Halo makes a ton of money and expect no less with Halo 6. Look up how much Halo 5 made for MS and you will be shocked. You know why Halo profits so much and the sales seem to be less than the previous game? its because Halo isn't bundled as much as they use to be and Digital sales also take into account. Profits > Sales numbers.
Disney have made 3 Star Wars movies since they purchased the franchise. 343 have made 3 Halo Games when they were formed. So what's your point?
It doesn't matter what Cobolt and Scrolls are, they are games released by Mojang so your point is invalid.
So what recent games have PD made outside of GT?
You should be thanking MS for letting Rare make something new not bash them for locking devs into IPs and worried for future games if SoTs is successful.
I for one am looking forward to SoTs if your not. And I will be really happy if Rare support the game years on end.
All companies milk there big IPs if you see it as milking. Its just Halo is a lot bigger than the IPs you probably play which most likely die off and stop selling after awhile. Halo continues to profit massively and MS would be loving it.

Call of Duty alternates game releases between developers with their yearly releases. |
Halo is no different to Mario, Zelda and Pokémon for Nintendo. Huge followings allow for more games made. That's the way it is. CoD releases a mainline CoD game yearly that different devs make. Halo mainline is made every 3 years with an exception of a spin off in between.
