- Founder and current Head of 343 Industries Bonnie Ross talked about what she asked when taking control over the Halo franchise. She said:

“The thing I asked for was: If I take it over, I want to be George Lucas," she said. "I want to own everything, and I want to do things differently."

- she also revealed that people in Micro didn't believe there would be much games left for the franchise in the future, she said:

"People felt like, 'Let's get another Halo or two out, and it's the end of the franchise,'"

I have a hard time believing they said that, Surely they could of picked a better comparison.

After the first 3 films Lucas and starwars are known for milking the fanchise for every penny they could get off customers, even going as far as to sell you rocks

Well, I'd say that's pretty accurate actually. The only difference is, Lucas ruined what he original created where as she is ruining what Bungie created.

Maybe in 10 years, someone else will take over Halo and the main character will turn into a woman.

Uh... cool? ._.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
