It sucks, Halo was a big part of my highschool years and now it feels like a really shitty money grab.

This is just modern gaming. You could replace "Halo" with almost any sizeable game from that era, and you'd have the same thing - none of them remain except to be husks of their former selves, enslaved to a large money harvesting machine.

OSRS is one of the very few exceptions to the rule, and that only came about after having spent years as a money grab before realizing people actually wanted the original back.
