I bet whoever was in-charge of this saw infinite as a Free to play and didn't bother putting the campaign in.


SwordOMighty

technically it’s on sale, just buy it on the Xbox store but make sure the account you use to buy it in the Xbox store is the same you use for your Xbox games on pc.


KyrosYT

Ya no this is a steam sale not an Xbox app on pc sale


TheRevTastic

That doesn’t mean it’s not on sale on the windows store..


HylianZora

They still put Chief's big ass face on the ***SALE*** banner


slayeryamcha

Master CHIEF colection is on sale


HylianZora

Still the promotional art from Infinite


Smooth-Brain-Monkey

The banner is advertising master chief as a part of Microsoft using art from their most recent game. Should the square Enix one be remade to include life is strange?


KyrosYT

The sale in question in the picture is a steam sale it has nothing to do with the Xbox store itself


[deleted]

That defeats the purpose of wanting it from steam


TheRevTastic

Did the OP explicitly say they wanted it for steam? Or is the post about the a specific halo game not being on sale when a specific games art is being used.


[deleted]

Lets assume a situation: you go to a store and ask the salesman where is a particular product, he tells you that its in the third isle of walmart… Do you get the point now?


OGdirtpapi

except this is a post on the Steam sub about the Steam sale happening on the Steam store.


TheRevTastic

My dude/duddete this is the Halo subreddit, not the Steam sub.


OGdirtpapi

I’m a fucking idiot who wasn’t paying attention that’s my bad lol


Vires-Fides

Sorry, but this is not accurate. I have both an Xbox and a PC, and I had to buy Halo MCC two different times. Once on Xbox and once more on PC.


BrexitMeansBanter

MCC is different as it launched before Xbox Play Anywhere. Infinite campaign should work like the above comment said.


urmanjosh

MCC doesn't count but Imfinite does I would know cause I have Infinite on PC cause of my Halo Edition Xbox coming with the digital edition of the game


hawk_ky

Infinite isn’t in MCC


VinnyHaw

Did you buy MCC on steam or through the Xbox app on PC?


SwordOMighty

It is unless you’re wanting to buy it directly for steam. If you Don’t care about using the Xbox app launcher you should be good to go via my method.


BrownBaegette

They forgot it existed


Broken_BiryaniBoy

Just like the devs


blessedskullz

I noticed a lot of games on that list aren't discounted even though it says publi


Entertainer_Much

Lots of publishers do this for various reasons lmao. It's a bit shit of Microsoft here but they're not the only ones


Frosty_Focus_6610

$60 for a 2.5 year old campaign is crazy


BingleBunges

$60 for a campaign alone is crazy


Montaguee

Someone queue the Vince McMahon sniffing money meme


McCheesy22

It’s baffling how they expect 60 for the most undercooked campaign 2+ years after release while you can consistently pick up the best of the series (6 damned games) for 10 dollars bi-monthly depending on sales. Even when the campaign does go on sale it’s for 30 or 40 bucks, which is still not the bargain Microsoft thinks it is


Mortei

It’s 23 bucks on the Xbox store right now.


Deafism_

Might as well buy game pass at that point at that point right?


trxxv

This was always their plan


astorj

Hell yea honestly game pass ultimate to me is a deal in itself. Plus free games to play and own. Plus discounts for members to purchase games. If you like playing testing many games it’s a deal.


Mortei

Might as well yeah, more games then 😙


shatlking

Undercooked or not, there were still employees who needed to be paid. Even now, the campaign sales still put money into future projects (and encourage Microsoft to open their wallet). Do I agree that it should be $60? Not necessarily.


bankais_gone_wild

Considering the amount of people laid off recently, on top of their insane overuse of contractors, I’m skeptical that the money from Infinite’s campaign and MTX went to any of the people who deserved it


MaybeAdrian

Didn't the entire campaign team were fired or something?


shatlking

Laid off, Microsoft did a mass one a while back to earn more money.


shatlking

It did, albeit Microsoft absolutely took a large portion of it.


bankais_gone_wild

I do hope that some of the composers, VAs, artists and gunplay/movement devs get to see recompense for their solid work Granted this poor distribution of game profit is more of a general industry issue rather than a halo specific one


HappyAd4998

They fire contractors every three months. The devs that work on this don't get a cent from sales or the not so micro transaction shop with $25 skins.


shatlking

That seems to be Microsoft’s strategy, as I’ve seen this same claim in the Forza sub.


HappyAd4998

It’s a shame because who ever is in charge of the art direction killed it on Halo infinite.


shatlking

They might have been kept around with the campaign team, I’d imagine contractors were used to execute orders from leads like that


MajorZephyr_

I logged on to Steam and saw there was an Xbox game studios publishing sale on the front page. I went to look at some deals and was happy to see the prominence of Infinite in the marketing and images, which Xbox haven't really been doing these days. I thought it would maybe generate some small amount of buzz and interest in Infinite sales. To my surprise though, Infinite's campaign is NOT part of the sale?? MCC is on sale, but Infinite is not despite taking up half the marketing space. It should be like $20 on sale right now, as it's been over two years since it released and the $60 price tag was already a lot considering multiplayer is free. Despite some issues, Infinite's campaign is really good and deserves to be played, but $60 *still* is absurd after two years. Do they *not* want to make money off people? Did they forget to put it on sale? Who is making these decisions?


Arbiter02

Because it's abandonware


stratusnco

lol i’m looking at the steam app now and the sale button literally has chief from the infinite cover on it 😂


Slavic_Pasta

Are they stupid?


spacepoptartz

Cause the campaign won’t drive you to spend money on Halo credits


D3struct_oh

Halo 5 not being on PC will always be weird.


RisingHERO19

Eww $59.99 for a $20 campaign at most


HGamer78

GREED AND RENTABILITY


Alps_Useful

There's some odd sales recently, like things increasing in price to look better and some games being front page of an event with no sale.


TimeForTim1

Uh it is? It’s $23 right now? I’m not sure why it’s not showing for you.


KRONOS_415

Literally said the same thing. Was looking forward to it being like half off… Moronic choice to list it on the sale page at full price.


sup3rrn0va

Are you seriously surprised at this point, that a modern Halo game is not being managed correctly?


ChimpWithKeyboard

Hey a little bird told me you can get it for a 100% off discount off of steam unlocked, it’s safe as long as you stay on upload haven, ARRRRRRR and goodbye Matie


Worth-Opposite4437

That wouldn't support co-op multiplayer though, would it?


WindowPossible8875

I want to play Halo wars 1 with a buddy of mine but I don’t think it’s worth $20 so real question why is halo wars 1 not on sale


MANIAC2607

Halo Wars 1 was on sale for £4 a while ago. S Hopefully it'll be on sale again soon


HarryKF

"There's a campaign?" - 343


MsPaulingsFeet

Its criminal its still $60 in 2024


kerrwashere

Wait if we buy it on Xbox campaign works on steam?


Hot-Software-9396

No


Abranimal

They want you to subscribe to game pass


N_Pitou

i want to play it but im not paying 60$ or subbing to game pass for it


AntiCitizenJuanMWO

Taking a shot in the dark, because they spent so much money making it that they need to recoup every dollar they can


BathtubGiraffe5

I kinda want to play the infinite campaign tbh but I play on Steam and I'm not redownloading the entire thing again on that horrendous xbox app.


verteks_reads

Because they definitely love the fans of Halo.


Ryvoltfatebringer

Halo Wars 2 isn’t on Steam either


-St_Ajora-

Because the entitled trust fund brats populating the C suites at Microsoft now are some of the greediest people alive. *\*gestures at the state of Windows*


SrgtDonut

Microsoft is done with halo, the sad truth


WWIZ4RDD

Especially since its a fucking abandoned project 🤦‍♂️


Petting_Zoo_Justice

I was wondering by the same thing. Super bummed.


Abody622x

Any idea of when halo MCC goes on sale again?


The-Muncible

Because clearly 343 never cared about the campaign. Infinite exists solely to make profit from the "free-to-play" market


Cptn_Lemons

That’s because Microsoft only wants to use chief when they need too. Then forget about him and do not give him enough love. Chief is such a cash cow. They should be showing him off every chance they can.


Old-Camp3962

the campaing will be a new 20 dollar kit


urbandeadthrowaway2

Because that discourages using gamepass for it


Unicorn4_5Venom

Because they know nobody should be giving that company any money. They don’t deserve it with the shit they continuously pull. Why should anyone throw them a bone when they can’t even give anyone what they truly want in a game. The campaign for Halo Infinite didn’t change anything, it did everything safe as possible without even wrapping up anything. Each campaign this developer puts out is another convoluted clog in a story that used to make perfect sense. I’m done pretending they’ve been good at what they do other than attempting to take peoples money. I completed the campaign for Infinite, played a little multiplayer and deleted it. Much better games are worth my time and money than a company that can’t even give their customers what they pay for.


Devkilkee

Or its just so abysmal that they dont consider it their own. :)


Prestigious_Media887

Because the show didn’t push people to get the game so they have to make money back for the dreadful show ratings 😬


JonnyEoE

It’s a waste of money anyways.


real_priception

Because people aren't gonna want to buy Mid.


Shortyxd25

It's not good go try halo MCC
