people, as someone who was on the halogen forums, and still is on the slipstream forums, DONT BLAME BUNGIE!
bungie had nothing to do with this except the creation of halo, the franchize has long since been bought by microsoft, whom we all know to be a monopoly. Microsoft issued the cease and desist.
bungie has actually expressed appology to the mod team (at least thats what they tell us, the letters werent public). bungie has no control over the halo franchize anymore, as microsoft owns it.
and to the guy who said that fan art is not really something to worry about in court: the halo books are a franchize yes? look at the longer halo fanfictions, they are longer then the all 3 books individually. now lets take the collective halo fanfiction. thats a hell of alot of writing. dun believe me? go to fanfiction.net, its a huge example, not the best, but a big one. i myself write there.
MS shuts down Halogen mod ... why now?
