It’s a lot of things, but what I said there was true. They literally forbade the writers from playing any of the games or reading the books.

So now instead of the TV show all of us fans wanted we have something with master chief and if you squint your eyes it might look like a halo plotline
That’s… a bold decision. Who pays for the rights to a well-known character/IP with lots of fans and then decides they want to attract a new audience instead? Guessing it was pretty poorly received?
