Halo series developer 343 Industries has allegedly been downsized considerably, and upcoming Halo projects will largely be outsourced.
From insider leaks overuse of contractors was what put infinite in the mess it was in the beginning.. so they're just doubling down on using contractors instead of listening to the actual workers. It's a huge shame because right as 343 started to pick up steam with updates Microsoft started firing everyone.
50 US based devs earning 10 million, so let's get 150 outsourced devs making 0.5 million!
Oh shit that didn't work? Okay let's get 300 outsourced devs making 1 million!
That's sure to make things better!
This is why tech companies should not hire MBAs. Not even one. If you want an accountant hire an actual CPA. If you absolutely must have a CFO, pay an engineer to take some finance classes.
