: I'm not sure you got my point. I don't see any evidence that appealing to the
: old community would be any less lucrative over the long haul than trying
: to cut into someone else's pie. I don't see evidence that the demand for
: "classic Halo" (lol) was falling in any significant way.

: I'm not arguing about the high-level machinations, I'm wondering where your
: initial, most basic assumption comes from.

And to add to that, I'd still like to point out, again, that Reach was just only bumped out of the top 20 on that list as of September 30. Obviously Reach was doing something right, had the staying power, and btw, has "Halo" in the name. I agree with you that the evidence appears to be lacking as far as a decrease of demand in "classic Halo" or "Halo" in general goes beyond H4 sinking slowly but surely.
