Isn’t the “reboot” an extraction shooter? I hope they stay quiet and someone else gets the IP; someone who appreciates what Marathon’s gameplay and story were and are.

I hope Bungie realized that if they make another free to play shooter that it will cut into the profits of their other free to play shooter.

Maybe they can try something smaller, more original, and riskier and see if people will buy that. Shorter development time, tighter budget, minimize the scope of the first title and see what people will buy. Leverage the fact that you have all this game tech, expertise, and capital and make three smaller projects that do not compete against the core product directly and come to market quickly.

I don't trust post Microsoft Bungie to make anything that I'm interested in, let alone be capable of much since laying off so much staff.
