Microsoft actually lost about 30% of their possible sales of the Halo franchise because they dropped it from PCs. They thought it was just that PC users wouldn't buy any Halo game anymore, but really it was just that Halo 2 sucked that bad that PC users wouldn't buy that specific title.

 

Halo 4 for PC = Microsoft's income for the game increases 50-75%

Don't insult me. I have trained professionals to do that.

It died on PC with Halo 2 because they thought it was a good idea to make it Vista exclusive around a time that vista could barely do anything right. Not only that but it had DRM of about 3 installs or so.

That was lumped into the reason of "Halo 2 sucked that bad".

It's taken me almost four years since I became really active on the internet but I think I've actually done it.

I remember trying to watch that show. I got bored after the fifth episode about nothing but food.

I know, right? That's what put me off, too. It just got really stupid, and not a good kind of stupid. But I pushed myself to keep watching through the episodes, and believe it or not they actually get BETTER as it goes on. Sure that doesn't make a good show from a business angle, but it worked for me to watch.

"Halo 2 sucked that bad".

A good majority of people I know would say otherwise, me included.

 

And Felix, that anime is called Lucky Star.

Should I feel bad about not knowing about it?

Not knowing Lucky Star is like not knowing Black Rock Shooter. They're kind of everywhere if you look.

Click the youtube button on the bottom right of the screen and on the youtube page there should be a cc (closed captions) button on the video.
