This one hurts…..dude was awesome and great at his job! Halo 5’s Forge was amazing and Infinite’s multiplayer design, equipment, and mechanics are insanely fun and addicting. Unfortunately, it takes more than a single developer to get content out lol.
Wish him the best! Hopefully he’s able to find a more stable studio to work for than 343 lol
People leaves companies, nothing to see here.
