Halo

I loved the original Halo series, but I want something new.

I actually think Halo Infinite is the best big team objective games have felt in Halo multiplayer ever... but my enthusiasm for Halo kind of died when Microsoft started directly profitting from the Palestinian Genocide and only """stopped""" after intense and sustained backlash.

Nah I will give my money to indie artists, these murderers have made enough profit.

Most importantly, the relationship between Israel and Microsoft doesn't end simply at the purchase of an Azure contract. Some of these services are used in highly classified units, including one inside the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, which requires Microsoft employees with security clearances to sign off and oversee the provision of these services. It isn’t just a vendor-customer dynamic that allows this genocide to be so brutal, but an intimate and entwined relationship that requires constant participation by both parties.

This kind of business goes directly against Microsoft’s global human rights statement: “Technology should be used for the good of humanity, to empower and protect everyone and to leave no one behind.”

It’s for this reason that Microsoft employees began to take a stand against their work being used for such atrocities and started an organisation called No Azure for Apartheid in late 2023.
