That’s an interesting study. It makes sense that dominance-seeking behavior follows a ‘low-risk, high-reward’ strategy across species. The connection between status, objectification, and primate behavior is fascinating Morse Code Translator—wonder if similar patterns appear in different cultural contexts.

I didn’t even know people were still playing Halo 3 in 2015

This is probably seen through rose tinted glasses, but Halo 3 had the best multi-player experience I think. It has community created maps, game modes, and an a way for anybody with a account to share what they made. From pictures to custom forge maps. I have nothing but fond memories of the experience. So it makes sense to me at least that some people wouldn't stop playing until Microsoft or Bungie or whoever made them.

This is definitely an objective opinion based on facts and universal experiences: the best multiplayer experience was Halo 1, when we ran ethernet cables between our dorm rooms. I'd wake up to someone slamming on my door telling me to turn my Xbox on, and I'd jump right into a death match.

Master Chief Collection came out in late 2014.

It sucked so hard for the first 4 years that I didn’t start playing it again until 2018 when they sorta fixed it.
