It's been a long time. voice-verified

since Halo was the market leader. voice-verified

And I think when we talk about Xbox and Microsoft, we look at these teams and we go like, oh, what are we doing with Halo? voice-verified

How do we fix Halo? voice-verified

Oh, Halo now going over to Activision. voice-verified

It's like, maybe we all need to take a moment and a deep breath and understand that Halo is a B-tier franchise now, right? voice-verified

This isn't the A-tier franchises that Microsoft and Xbox now own with Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, King. voice-verified

And there's a focus of, hey, here's our A-tier celebrities and lists. voice-verified

Here's our B-tier. voice-verified

It has now become a one to two year project. voice-verified

It needs to be cycled almost as if it's become a call of duty on the hamster wheel. voice-verified
