No shit Sherlock, Microsoft held a monopoly on their own franchise, those bastards.

Technically it was Bungie's franchise. It's not truly theirs unless they built it themselves. They just bought the use of it. That's why Halo turned to shit after Bungie left and Destiny is more Halo than Halo is now.

They own it, it's theirs. You wouldn't say that every thing that you bought isn't technically yours because you didn't make it.

Maybe it'll happen if we can get 1,000 sigs.

Can't say i agree that it "turned to shit". Halo 4 was pretty disappointing compared to the previous 3 (4 if we include Reach), but it was still a good game.

Even if you don't agree it was shit, which lets face it it was. You could still see a significant difference. MS tried to copy something that was a labor of love by Bungie and they simply could not achieve parity.

I agree that rather than taking the series in a much needed new direction they simply maintained the status quo and tried to mimic the original trilogy (both in gameplay and tone), but that doesn't make it inherently bad. I still enjoyed my time with Halo 4, it just left a sour taste in my mouth knowing it could have been so much more.

But hey ho, not everyone can enjoy everything. We will have to agree to disagree on the quality of the final product, regardless to potential.

It's the truth tho. You only buy the right to use something. it doesn't make it yours. It doesn't matter if you build a toaster or a work of art, you create something with your mind heart and hands and it's yours forever, and no one can take that away from you. Take the Mona Lisa for example. The painting was purchased by countless people/ museums since it's creation but it's known throughout history that it's one true owner, it's creator is Leonardo da Vinci. So yeah I would say that because it's true, you are only purchasing the right to use that item in any way you see fit. That's how copyright/patent law works.

All Hail the Jester King. The King is back, and I am still a dirty girl prof ;)

Why is he asking for Halo instead of Viva Pinata?

"The right to use an item in any way you see fit" - You just defined ownership.

And regarding the bolded: Actually it does just that.

Does anybody actually believe this garbage?? As if MS would put their BIGGEST exclusive on a competing platform.
