I don't own either current gen consoles. But I do have a rather up to date PC. I don't have any current gen consoles when I owned some before (360, PS4) because I don't like how they handle those consoles. I don't run windows anymore because I disagree that MY PC that I built is somehow Microsoft's property if I use their software. I used to be a Halo fan but ever since Halo 4 the series has been rather... Mediocre and I just don't have time for sub par experiences. In fact I have not touched any AAA titles in so long because they have all been overly save and boring.

I don't hate every big company making games,in fact I miss the old Ubisoft from the early 2000s or valve or blizzard (save of a few things) or...

Either way, the market isn't infinite and at some point keeping the existing player base is probably a good idea. So is not pissing of customers with practices that are predatory. Ultimately wild uncontrolled growth is also known as cancer.

Do yourself a favor and never get curious about halo 5.

Gears on the other hand has still been rocking along and staying interesting IMO.
