Halo Infinite dropped off hard following launch as disgruntled players ditched the game for its poor progression systems, monetisation, and missing modes. Earlier this month the studio moved to explain a recent microtransactions price hike following a community backlash. Halo Infinite has enjoyed a modest resurgence of late and Season 5 is generally well-received despite the monetization controversies. So 343’s pricing, however upsetting, has remained consistent.
