Microsoft ain?t happy about since Halo debuted at Macworld in 1999, the franchise has been a staple of the game industry. Looks like I?ll be seeing you all in 24 hours. Here are just a few examples of Twitch streams that have been affected. It's simply a necessary part of being a publicly traded company in the US."ĭespite this, Microsoft's legal team has submitted Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice requests to Twitch relating to streams labelled Halo Online - and Twitch has obliged with 24 streaming hour bans. Nobody takes joy in this kind of work or responsibility.
"I hope nobody on this site thinks anyone is happy about this - at one end of the spectrum, it's sad to see folks' hard work and effort be sunsetted, and on the other, all the people who do this stuff are human. It's not optional in other words." A number of ElDewrito Twitch streamers have been hit with temporary bans.ģ43's Frank O'Connor took to ResetEra to explain further, saying: "BTW, we're not 'shutting down the mod' or going after the Eldewrito crew - we're enacting action to remove the Halo Online code and packages from places it's being hosted. "As this project reverberated across the community, our team took a step back to assess the materials and explore possible avenues, while Microsoft, like any company, has a responsibility to protect its IP, code and trademarks.
"While we are humbled and inspired to see the amount of passion poured into this project, the fact remains that it's built upon Microsoft-owned assets that were never lawfully released or authorised for this purpose," 343 said in a statement. At the time, Halo developer 343 insisted Microsoft's lawyers hadn't shut down the mod, rather, they were working to scrub any Halo Online assets required to play the game from the internet and insisted the ElDewrito team pause development. Yesterday, we reported on Microsoft's move against the popular Halo Online mod ElDewrito.
