343 has had a hiring freeze for months too, talent is harder to hire nowadays, especially in extremely competitive places like Redmond, not to mention all the issues with contractors working on an in-house engine and now they're suffering lay offs. I understand Infinite probably isn't making them much right now but this is not the way to fix that. Wtf is Satya thinking. Halo has a massive uphill battle ahead of it.
All of this is after 343 was finally starting to improve things and the future looking bright, Christ, morale at the studio must be in the dirt right now. Others will take advantage of that (NetEase). A fear of mine is that if ABK does approve, Microsoft is going to dump Halo so hard because they now have CoD.
