  They haven’t really had a history of making you purchase them again. If you’ve got them now, you’ll still be playing the copies you already bought.

    Halo has been released on Xbox, Windows, macOS, Xbox 360, Windows Phone, iOS, Xbox One, Arcade, Xbox Series X|S. Then there is the Master Chief Collection which resold the series all over again.

    Microsoft will happily sell you the same thing over and over and over. But luckily for them they have fanboys like you ready to defend the multibillion dollar corporation from jokes like mine.

      Those are supported platforms, yes. Many of them are redundant because the same license gives to access to the game on multiple platforms. I’m not defending them; your joke didn’t land because they don’t typically make you buy the same games over again. I’m a Linux fanboy and don’t own a Series X; I have no reason to defend Microsoft. Just make better jokes next time.

        Said the fanboy.

        Oh so I have a free copy of Halo 1 or 2 on other platforms because I bought it back on the original Xbox… No, if I want to play it on modern platforms I’ll have to buy it again?

        What about Halo 3 on the 360, do I get a free copy of it everywhere else… Again no… Shit.

        I’m a Linux fanboy and don’t own a Series X.

        Yet you immediately downvote all my comments like that means anything, and get wrapped up defending Microsoft from some random jokes online.

        I’m not defending them; your joke didn’t land because you buy the same games over again.

        I love the non-conformational language you use here “they don’t typically make you do something”. You cannot even state plainly that they don’t re-sell their shit over and over because even you know it’s not true.

        I look forward to your immediate downvote and reply.
