THE FUSE

As the gaming industry continues to reel from the radioactive fallout of yesterday’s colossal Xbox layoffs, a former Halo dev shared a story demonstrating just how out-of-touch the people in charge can be. On Bluesky, Dan Callan, a mission designer on Halo 4, talked about the time he got to demo the game for Don Mattrick, who was in charge of the Xbox business at the time. Callan said that as he was showing off the Mantis, one of the new mechs the Master Chief gets to run around in, Mattrick asked an odd question about a completely unrelated game.
