""The lowest estimate we & Microsoft had for the game's total income was $1.1 billion,""
""realized that his stock bonus was based on the income MS had from games in 3 years.""
""So by firing ALL of Ensemble, he didn't have to pay for our expensive studio for 3 years and he didn't care about Titan.""
Titan was a Halo MMO project at Ensemble Studios set in the distant past before the Halos eradicated sentient life. The project reportedly carried a roughly $90 million budget and internal estimates placed minimum total income near $1.1 billion. Development required an estimated 3.5 years to complete, which conflicted with a corporate three-year revenue window tied to executive incentives. Microsoft closed Ensemble Studios in 2008, terminating Titan's development. Office politics and timing of corporate financial incentives are cited as key factors in the studio's closure and the cancellation of Titan.
