Most of Halo’s player base is on console, always has been. Microsoft doesn’t publicly release numbers, so we can only go by the charts. And even though Infinite slipped out of the top five most-played games on Xbox, it’s still held fast in the top ten.

And also, these technologies are still not using sustainable energy and are a target for money laundering. As a developer I feel deeply uncomfortable that there is a…

You have to remember that GDC isn’t exclusively programmers, writers and artists (which is likely where a significant proportion of the unfavorable votes come from). Lots of management, finance groups and executives attend, too.
