They really think the industry is in the shitter and that studios are being closed and developers being laid off left and right because Gamers are boycotting video games that have too many female/gay/black characters or not enough booba and because video game studios don't employ enough white dudes. I know they're terminally stupid and wilfully ignorant but the way Microsoft's shitty hiring practices have affected Halo are well documented and they have nothing to do with developers having blue hair or pronouns on their bio
THEY WILL FIND OUT THE HARD WAY
lmao
they need the covenant to attempt human extermination to make the unsc sympathetic and not have the games just be about crushing insurgents. the flood is the one component i don't understand. it could just be a borg like communist metaphor but i don't know. could it be immigrants? the poor. i know there's a huge emphasis on inherited genetic superiority in he franchise
The Halo 3 legendary edition bonus disc bestiary labels the The Flood's political system as "Utopian Socialism" lol
fuck that game
The flood is the communist enemy if you ignore the fact that communists literally exist in universe agitating the independence of stations and that's what the Spartan program was created to fight. They're very borg-like, join the collective through force, tidal wave of red, employing literal human wave tactics.
