I mean, I get it too (Gaming)

At this point, I am familiar with the sequence. This is a Cody red line. It is VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT MATTERS AS MUCH TO EVERYONE, else we're not respecting ourselves, unlike you, who are the last man standing with integrity.

If he alone votes for his concerns with his wallet, the industry will keep going without him. If he convinces a bunch of other people, maybe that makes a considerable difference in the companies' bottom lined and stops them from going further.

I get it, too, but I don't have his priorities. Here's the thing: you provide a service. Your customers either think it's worth what you charge or not. Your job is to make it worth it to both you. You screw it up, you fail. In a free market, you're always going to have someone come along who will try to provide greater value. In my model, you don't need Cody Miller judging other people's priorities for things to change. There will be a disruptor who provides better value. Change will come.

And yet 343 has still, to this day, never released a fully complete game. Or a game that doesn’t have something, or many things, severely wrong with it. Or without controversy, like this situation that has Cody upset (and actually is pretty similar to the Sony account requirement controversy with Helldivers that tanked its reviews and overall player counts). Where’s the disruptor and better value? There isn’t, at least not until they shutter that studio and give Halo to someone else. Yet there’s still somehow always someone defending 343. Good for Cody drawing a line and sticking to it and trying to let others know about his opinions.

I guess it has been a while. That hobby horse was begging to be ridden. 343 is dead, dude, but maybe you didn't know. Regarding controversy, what is not controversial in 2026? It is the coin of realm. Cody is welcome to be upset. I think he enjoys it on some level. I can also find his level of upset unwarranted, and regarding the spec that he demands be met, well, everything is simple provided you don't know much about it.
