Because closing the studio you hand picked to carry the franchise that used to set retail sales records explicitly says “we shit the bed” to the community and more importantly(to them), shareholders.
That makes sense, as I was thinking about it I realized that Infinite is still ongoing so they need to keep a barebones team around for support of that. But honestly I hope it goes away. Is so pretentious and cringe having a game studio named after the game series.
Why even keep halo studios open?

Couldn’t they just frame it as having reached the peak of what the Halo IP has to offer?
It’s not like shareholders know shit about fuck, and the community doesn’t even exist in Microsoft’s eyes
