Ex-developers, a studio reply and an Activision Halo rumor: HaloFollower's Halo Studios week

Ron Ducats spent six uploads on one company, from former developers speaking out to a report that Activision may be working on a Halo reboot.

Six uploads, one studio. Ron Ducats, who calls himself the local lunatic on his about page, spent the whole week on Halo Studios, the team Microsoft renamed from 343 Industries.

The week's most watched video was "They f**king hate us... (ex-Devs CRASH OUT)". Its description says the studio faces more allegations and that a growing number of former developers are speaking out. It drew more than 100,000 views on its first day. A day later came "Sh*t has hit the fan... (official Halo Studios response)", covering the studio's reply about its culture, the community's pushback and a note that The Act Man reached out to Ron. The comments under the first video are mostly a long conversation about how the studio and its players have treated each other over the years. Several viewers are surprised that Ron counts himself among the people kept at arm's length.

The newest upload looks past the studio. "they're doing WHAT with Halo!?!?" covers a report, credited in the description to Rebs Gaming and attributed to unnamed sources, that Activision is working on a Halo reboot. Eight hours after it went up, it had passed 40,000 views and was gathering them faster than anything else on the channel. Earlier in the week there was room for a lighter turn, with Ron joking that Halo Studios had advice for the bald spot he blames on Halo.

The channel as a whole moved more slowly than usual, at well under half its normal daily pace, and its 1.13 million subscribers held steady. Among similar gaming news channels, Dobbs and YongYea had the big weeks, and HaloFollower sat in the middle of the group.
